UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Senior captain Jessie Davis (Fairfax, Va.) has been selected to the TopDrawerSoccer.com Team of the Week.
Davis piloted the Penn State defense which shut out Big Ten opponents Northwestern and Wisconsin last week. The Nittany Lion back line held the Wildcats to two shots on goal while the Badgers were limited to three shots on goal. Penn State has collected five shutouts on the season and hasn't given up a single goal in Big Ten action.
Davis was a Second Team All-Big Ten performer last season. This is her first national honor.
"Jessie is the backbone of our defense," said head coach Erica Walsh. "Through her leadership we get better and better."
The Nittany Lions will be on the road this week as they continue their quest for their 11th consecutive Big Ten championship. They will face Michigan on Friday at 4 p.m. and follow with Michigan State on Sunday at noon.
