Diana Poulin Named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week
9/29/2014 12:00:00 AM | Women's Soccer
This is the third-career weekly honor for the Hauppauge, N.Y., native, who earned BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week honors twice as a freshman last season. It is also the second-straight week that a Red Storm player has been recognized by the conference, as Shea Connors took home Rookie of the Week accolades last Monday.
Poulin led a St. John's defense that proved impenetrable in the opening weekend of BIG EAST play, registering six saves and a pair of shutouts against Xavier and Creighton. On Sunday against the Bluejays, the sophomore came up huge in the final minute of the contest, turning away a Creighton try and preserving her team's lead at one despite a frantic final push by the home team.
Sunday marked the third-straight shutout for Poulin, who has not allowed a goal since September 14 against Dartmouth and has held opponents off the board for the last 293 minutes of game play.
Poulin and the Red Storm return to action on Thursday night, welcoming Marquette to Belson Stadium for a 7 p.m. contest.
