LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. - Women's soccer freshman goalkeeper Laura Ettinger (Macungie, Pa./Emmaus) was named MAAC Defensive Player of the Week as announced by the league earlier today. Ettinger won both games this past week, helping the Saints to a 4-0 start - the program's best since joining the MAAC in 1991.

Ettinger earned her first career shutout against UAlbany, a 4-0 win on Tuesday and defeated Vermont 3-1 on Friday. She made four saves and registered a .50 goals-against average in the two games.

Siena returns to action on Friday vs. Sacred Heart at 1 p.m. The game will be played in Albany as part of the Governor's Cup tournament hosted by UAlbany.
