PORTLAND, Oregon --- Western Oregon goalkeeper Olivia Holdenried has been named the GNAC Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week after leading the Wolves to a pair of impressive victories last week.

The sophomore from Windsor, California, allowed only one goal in the run of play (the other came on a penalty shot) and collected 20 saves in a pair of wins over defending conference champions this week (one of which was nationally ranked).

In her most impressive performance, Holdenried picked up a shutout and had 14 saves (while facing 34 shots) in WOU's 1-0 win over No. 20 Sonoma State on the road Thursday. She then picked up six saves against Colorado Mesa in the Wolves' win Sunday at home.

WOU returns to action Thursday when they hit the road to take on Colorado Christian.
