Illinois Springfield goalkeeper Gigi Yurevich has been named the GLVC Defensive Player of the Week in women's soccer after recording back-to-back shutouts in a perfect weekend for the Prairie Stars.

Yurevich played all 180 minutes as UIS earned a pair of road wins, defeating Lincoln (Mo.) 2-0 on Friday and Missouri-St. Louis 1-0 on Sunday. The Junior from Springfield, Ill., posted eight total saves across the two matches, including six in the win over UMSL, to help the Prairie Stars build their unbeaten streak.
