IU East's Mitchum garners RSC Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- IU East sophomore Gabby Mitchum recorded a shutout in the season opener to garner River States Conference Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week for Aug. 19-25.
Mitchum, a native of Brookville, Ind., made five saves as the Red Wolves goalkeeper in a 2-0 win over Lawrence Tech (Mich.) to open the season. It was her first-career match after missing last year to injury and also being converted from a field player in the preseason. She faced 13 shots in all.
