KUTZTOWN, Pa. (October 19, 2009) — Alyssa Hackelberg (Randolph, N.J./Randolph) of the women's soccer team was honored with the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Division Player of the Week award with her stellar play of late.

The freshman goalkeeper etched her name in the KU record books with her 10th shutout of the season in a 3-0 win over Shepherd on October 13. She tacked on another shutout on Saturday October 17 with a 4-0 shutout over Shippensburg.

Hackelberg and the Golden Bears have currently recorded seven straight shutouts and the team is unbeaten in its last eight games, sporting a 7-0-1 record in that span. She and the Golden Bears have not allowed a goal since September 19, a span of 690 consecutive minutes.

In the 2-0 week, Hackelberg made four saves. She has made 62 saves on the season, compared to only seven goals allowed.

Chelsea Deeter, BrieAnn Shipkowski, Kelly Rozembersky and Laura Hearn have helped contribute to Hackelberg's success in the net with their blanketing defense.

Chelsea Bressler leads the offense with eight goals, while Shannon Pennock and Molly Cooper have each recorded six goals.

The Golden Bears look to avenge an early season loss when they travel to West Chester on Tuesday October, 20 at 3:30 p.m. to finish off a five game road trip. The Golden Bears will host East Stroudsburg on Saturday October, 24 at 1 p.m. on Keystone Field.
