Northern Kentucky University sophomore goalkeeper Rachael Wood (Cleves, Ohio/Taylor) is the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Soccer Player of the Week. Wood helped the Norse capture a pair of GLVC victories over the weekend.

In Friday’s match at Rockhurst, Wood made two saves in a 2-0 NKU win.

She completed the week by posting another shutout in NKU’s 1-0 double-overtime victory at Quincy. In the win, Wood turned away four shots on goal and held the Lady Hawks scoreless until the Norse were able to collect the victory in the 104th minute.

On the week, Wood had six saves in over 193 minutes in goal. She has allowed just two goals this season and boasts a league-best 0.19 goals against average and .929 save percentage.

Northern Kentucky (10-1-1) is 9-1 in the GLVC this season and sits in second place behind UW-Parkside. The Norse will host Missouri S&T and Drury this weekend.

Other top performers in the GLVC last week included Bellarmine’s Amy Kunowski, Lewis’ Fran Abate, Missouri-St. Louis’ Kelly Muesenfechter, Southern Indiana’s Jessica Scott and UIndy’s Lauren Soza.
