Lake Forest College women's soccer player Michele Giurovici was named Midwest Conference Defensive Player of the Week on Monday after helping lead the team to a pair of shutouts.
Giurovici, a senior playing center back, anchored a defense that limited Wisconsin Lutheran College to just seven shots in Thursday night's 4-0 Foresters victory on the road. She also assisted on the third goal of the contest.
Lake Forest also prevailed 1-0 at Edgewood College on Sunday. Giurovici and the rest of the Forester defense held the Eagles to 10 total shots in the contest. She contributed on offense again as well, assisting on the game's only goal.
The Foresters are 6-0-0 for the first time in program history and have allowed just four goals on the year. Giurovici is tied for the team lead with three assists.
MWC Performers of the Week are selected by the league's director of media and information.
