Kari Christensen (So./Standish, Maine), goalkeeper for the women's soccer team, has been honored as the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week and Gordon's Athlete of the Week.

Playing a crucial role in net for the Fighting Scots last week, Christensen helped her team improve to 8-6 overall, 4-3 in conference with a pair of shutout wins. After turning away seven shots in a 1-0 victory over non-conference opponent Plymouth State, she went on to record five saves in a 1-0 shutout against CCC rival Eastern Nazarene College, closing out the week with an impressive 0.00 goals against average.

Christensen and the rest of the Scots round out their regular season CCC schedule this week, hosting Curry on Tuesday, October 18 at 3:30p.m. and traveling to Roger Williams on Saturday, October 22 for a 3:00p.m. start.
