College Sports Madness has named Alabama State goalkeeper Kylee Hathaway Madness SWAC Women’s Soccer Player of the Week for her exceptional performance during this past week’s action.
College Sports Madness identifies the players who have made the greatest impact to their team from each conference and on a national basis each week.
The senior from Pomona, Calif. enjoyed another successful week in which she secured her third shutout of the season on nine saves in a 1-0 victory at the University of North Carolina-Asheville last Friday.
Hathaway picked up another additional nine saves in last Sunday’s match at Presbyterian and worked a clean sheet through the opening 65 minutes of play.
She now has 57 saves in 518 minutes of action on the 2014 campaign.
“It’s nice any time our team and players are recognized for their on-the-field performances,” said ASU coach Jodie Smith. “She [Hathaway] has the school record for career shutouts. She definitely earned a clean sheet with the shutout on Friday.”
Hathaway has pushed her number of career shutouts to 15. Chelsea Nash was the previous school record-holder with three career shutouts between two seasons (2008, 2010).
Hathaway has a legit chance to top her single-season shutout record of five. The Diamond Ranch High School alum reached that mark in both 2012 and 2013.
The Lady Hornets (3-3) have 13 regular season games remaining on their slate and could potentially play additional games with the SWAC Tournament and postseason play.
