University of West Georgia goalkeeper Mary Laza was named the Gulf South Conference Women’s Soccer Defender of the Week on Tuesday.
Laza recorded 15 saves while logging 200 minutes for UWG last week. She helped her team to a 2-2 tie against No. 22 North Alabama, while she also only allowed a single goal to Clayton State.
Laza started every game last season for UWG recording six shutouts, including one in the first game of the season against Eckerd and one in the last game of the year, versus Young Harris. She last claimed GSC Defender of the Week honors in 2010 (week of 9/14).
