Upper Iowa University Athletics

Kerkvliet was credited with five saves during last weekend's play at Southwest Minnesota State University and the University of Sioux Falls. The freshman keeper earned NSIC Goalkeeper of the Week honors after posting a shutout in the team's 1-0 win over SMSU and shared a shutout with Alena Miller in a 0-0 tie with USF. The defensive line in front of Kerkvliet played strong as well led by Leah Willenbring and Chloe Jarosz, who grabbed the assist on Jordan Zarate's game-winning goal against the Mustangs. The women's soccer team is 2-2-1 on the year and 1-0-1 in the conference and is on the road again this weekend with matches at the Minnesota Duluth on Friday and St. Cloud State University on Sunday.
