2007 Players of the Week

Swanson named Region IV and KCAC soccer Defensive POW

(Oct. 2, 2007)

McPherson College freshman goal keeper Andrea Swanson was named the NAIA Region IV and KCAC Women's soccer “Defensive Player of the Week” for the week of September 24-30, 2007.

Swanson was credited with eight saves on eight shots on goal as the Lady Bulldogs shut-out Manhattan Christian College (3-0), Tabor College (7-0), and Ottawa (2-0).

On the week, Swanson turned back two Manhattan Christian shots on goal, one shot by Tabor, and five shots on goal by Ottawa while playing all 270 minutes in the box.

The three shut-outs during the past week extended her streak of shut-out wins to five, and gives her a school record six on the season as the Lady Bulldogs have compiled a 7-3 overall record, 3-0 in KCAC play.

“Andrea is very deserving of this award, not only for her, but also for our team,” said Doug Quint, McPherson College head coach. “ She has been solid between the pipes for us all year. We trust she is going to come up with big saves when called upon to do so.”

“To break a school record as a freshman with such a young team in front of her, going 450 minutes and counting without conceding a goal is quite an achievement. I believe this is just a taste of things to come for this young lady.”

Swanson is a 2007 graduate of Heritage High School in Littleton, Colo.
