MAC Player of the Week Official Release
Cleveland, Ohio – Bowling Green State University's Lauren Cadel was tabbed the Mid-American Conference Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week, as announced this afternoon by the league office. This is the second time in her BGSU career that she has been named MAC POW.
Cadel, who is 4-2-1 this season, set a school record with a career-high 19 saves in Bowling Green's double-overtime draw with Valparaiso Sunday afternoon. This was her first double-digit save of the season. Her 19 saves versus the Crusaders broke Erika Flanders' mark of 17 set back in 2001 for BGSU. The redshirt junior recorded six saves in the opening half and then added 13 more to surpass her previous career-best of 14 saves. She also tallied nine saves in wins over Findlay and Eastern Illinois as BGSU went 2-0-1 in three games this week.
The Ontario, Canada native also received the award last year on Oct. 20 following her 14-save performance against Ohio University.
The Falcons are off to their best start since 1999 and the goalie duo of Cadel and Alexis Smith have yet to allow a goal at Cochrane Stadium this season.
Bowling Green return to Cochrane Stadium to face Butler Thursday Sept. 17 at 7 p.m. Following the matchup with the Bulldogs, the Falcons open conference play with Miami (OH) on Sept. 25 at home.
