Bain played the full time in both matches, scored first goal of the season
NEW YORK - Xavier women's soccer's Natalie Bain was named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week after helping the Musketeers to an unbeaten weekend to open conference play, the league office announced on Monday.
Bain, a sophomore defender from Alexandria, Ky., played the full 90 minutes on the Xavier backline in both matches last weekend as went Xavier 1-0-1 to open BIG EAST play.
Against Butler on Thursday, she helped limit Butler to just four shots on-goal to keep the 1-1 draw intact, extending Xavier's unbeaten streak in BIG EAST regular season matches that stretches back to Sept. 2021.
At DePaul on Sunday, Bain and the Musketeer defense didn't allow a single shot on-goal, earning the fifth shutout of the season. Bain also added a goal, her first of the season, in Xavier's 3-0 win over the Blue Demons, scoring in the 66th minute off a free kick.
Xavier returns to action on Thursday, September 28, hosting Villanova at Corcoran Field, set for a 7:00 p.m. start on FloSports.
