IU East's Mitchum secures RSC Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Indiana University East goalkeeper Gabby Mitchum posted a shutout in a big win to claim River States Conference Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week Oct. 25-31.
The junior from Brookville, Ind., made six saves in a 0-0, double-overtime shutout at Point Park (Pa.). That result secured the No. 3 playoff seed for the Red Wolves, who went on to go 2-0 in their trip to Pittsburgh.
Mitchum played all 110 minutes in the stalemate and made some big stops to preserve the scoreless tie. She snagged a key save after a shot hit the crossbar to keep the ball in play and highlight her night.
IU East is 10-6-1 overall, 8-2-1 RSC and will host Oakland City (Ind.) in the RSC Championship quarterfinals Nov. 6.
