After making her first collegiate start in the women's soccer game against Trinity on Saturday, freshman goalkeeper Kristin Wright received NESCAC Player of the Week honors.
Wright usually splits playing time in the goal with sophomore starter Phoebe Hanley, who sat out on Saturday due to an injury. Wright proved to be up to the challenge, making nine saves against the Bantams to keep them scoreless and to protect the Jumbos' 1−0 lead.
Wright improved her season save total to 23 and her save percentage to .920 after Saturday's game. Throughout nearly 500 minutes of time in the net this season, Wright has allowed just two goals.
The win against Trinity was the fifth consecutive shutout win for Tufts. With upcoming contests against Conn. College, Williams and Bowdoin, the team is looking to continue its streak as well as to jump to the top of the NESCAC standings. Currently, Tufts sits in second place behind Amherst. —by Lauren Flament
