Oct. 6, 2009 – Sophomore Jayne Grisham earned her second consecutive MIAA Women’s Soccer Defensive player of the week award. Grisham posted consecutive shutouts last week as the Bulldogs remain three points ahead of Nebraska-Omaha in the league standings.
Grisham (Bridgeton, Mo./Ursuline Academy) posted back-to-back shutouts, her fifth and sixth solo shutouts of the season, in a pair of Truman road wins this week. She stopped six Missouri Western shots in helping Truman pick up a 1-0 double-overtime win in St. Joseph, Mo., Thursday night before turning away four Southwest Baptist attempts Saturday in a 4-0 Truman win.
With her nearly 200 minutes of shutout action this past week, Grisham lowered her season-long GAA to 0.66, having allowed just eight goals in nearly 1,100 minutes in net. She has been a part of eight team shutouts, sharing time in two.
The Bulldogs are 13th in the country in shutout percentage.
