Week of Aug. 20-26: Janica Larsen, MSU Billings (D, 5-8, Sr., Salt Lake City, UT - Skyline) led the Yellowjacket defense, which allowed just two goals in three road contests, including 3-1 and 5-0 wins over Adams State and Eastern New Mexico and a 1-0 overtime loss to Fort Lewis. MSUB's defense gave up just 13 shots on goal in the three contests. “She was the anchor of the defense this weekend and was the only player to play every minute of three games in four days,” MSUB coach Don Trentham said.

Week of Aug. 27-Sept. 2: Sarah Martinez, Seattle Pacific (F, 5-6, Sr. Bothell, WA – Cedar Park Christian) had the most productive offensive week in GNAC history, scoring 13 points on five goals and three assists in wins over Humboldt State, Sonoma State and Cal State Stanislaus. She scored three goals and also earned an assist in a 4-1 win over Humboldt, was credited with an assist on SPU's lone goal in a 1-0 win over Sonoma and scored her team's first two goals and got another assist in a 7-1 thrashing of Stanislaus.

Week of Sept. 3-9: Shannon Oakes, Seattle Pacific (M, 5-5, Jr., Boise, ID) earned assists on the Falcons' game-winning goals in wins over Chico State (1-0) and Notre Dame de Namur (3-0) as SPU improved to 6-0.

Week of Sept. 10-16: Janae Godoy, Seattle Pacific (M, 5-4, So., Yakima, WA – West Valley) scored all three of the Falcons' goals in wins over Central Washington (1-0) and Western Washington (2-1) as SPU improved to 8-0. Godoy is currently tied for third in the conference with five goals.

McNutt scored four of NNU's six goals, including both game winners, in 3-0 road wins at Western Oregon and Saint Martin's as the Crusaders improved to 3-1 in the GNAC, their best start in conference history. McNutt has eight goals this season and ranks fifth in GNAC history with 38 career goals.


Charette	Fish

Week of Sept. 24-30: Jocelyn Charette, Seattle Pacific (F, 5-10, So., Lakewood, WA) and Teresa Fish, Western Washington (GK, 5-7, Sr., Snohomish, WA - Monroe). . .Charette, a transfer from the University of Tampa, was a key component in the Falcons' 2-1 over Seattle University Saturday, earning an assist on Shannon Oakes' first-half goal and then getting the game-winner in overtime. She had a team-high five shots including a free kick in the second half that forced a diving save by Redhawk keeper Kaitlyn Jackson. She also took three shots in SPU's 1-0 shutout of Montana State Billings on Thursday. . .Fish had eight saves in posting two shutouts – her 26 th and 27 th of her career – in 3-0 and 4-0 road wins at Western Oregon and Saint Martin's. Fish, who has seven shutouts this season, is now the GNAC's all-time career leader. She previously shared the record of 25 with Seattle Pacific's Jennifer Hull (2001-04).

Week of Oct. 1-7: Shawnna Chastain, Central Washington (D, 5-7, Jr., San Diego, CA – University City) anchored a Wildcat defense that held Western Washington without a shot in the first half (and 12 for the game) in a 1-0 win. CWU has now allowed just one goal (in overtime) in its last four contests. “Saturday's effort was typical for our girls in their ability to stay organized, win balls and not allow teams to get inside our penalty box,” CWU coach Michael Farrand said. “As the central defender, Shawnna takes charge and keeps our defense compact and working together.”


Hibbard	Martinez	Wymer

Week of Oct. 8-14: Sarah Martinez, Seattle Pacific (F, 5-6, Sr., Bothell, WA – Cedar Park Christian). Leah Wymer, Seattle (F, 5-6, Sr., Bothell, WA) and Erica Hibbard, Western Oregon (D, 5-6, Sr., Vancouver, WA – Hudson's Bay). . .Martinez became the GNAC's all-time point producer, scoring the game's only goal in a 1-0 shutout of Western Oregon Wednesday. The Falcons established a GNAC record for most consecutive wins in the game with their 14 th straight victory, breaking the old record of 13 they set in 2004. Martinez is also the GNAC career leader with 47 goals. . .Wymer had two goals, including the game-winner in a 1-0 shutout of Central Washington, as she became the fourth member of the GNAC 100-point club, joining Martinez, Lovejoy and Seattle's Nichole Savaugeau (1999-02), who have 113, 111 and 110, respectively. She is also the fourth player in Redhawk history to reach the 100-point level. . .Hibbard has had four sensational games in a row as the Wolves have won three of their last four to rebound from a 0-9-2 start. In a 1-0 loss to nationally second-ranked Seattle Pacific, she caught players from behind at least half a dozen times and in a shutout win over Northwest Nazarene she never got beat and helped prevent the Crusaders from getting off a threatening shot off all day. “Erica has played an amazing role in helping this young team come together,” WOU coach Rod Fretz said. “She is a leader on and off the field and will do what is necessary to bring success to our team.”

Week of Oct. 15-21: Madison Collins, Seattle University (D, 5-4, Jr., Boise, ID) led the Redhawk defense, which allowed just five shots in recording their 11th and 12th shutouts of the season. She also had an assist on one of SU's four goals in Sunday's win over Saint Martin's. The Redhawks have allowed just seven goals this season in earning a No. 11 national ranking. "Madison has been a key leader for our defense and is one of our most valuable players," SU coach Julie Woodward said.

Week of Oct. 22-28: Meredith Teague, Seattle Pacific (M, 5-4, Jr., Redmond, WA – Bellevue Christian) scored one goal and had two assists as she was involved in all the non-penalty kick goals in 2-0 wins over Seattle University and Montana State Billings as the Falcons clinched their fifth GNAC title in the past six years.
