IRVING, Texas  — A seven save masterclass in goal last Friday against Marist gives UC Davis lacrosse goalkeeper Emily Altshuler the Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Week award from the Big 12 for Week 6 of the season.

This weekly award is the first of the sophomore's career.

Playing in all 60 minutes against the Red Foxes, Altshuler produced another top level performance in her first season as the Aggies starting goalkeeper, giving up only four goals while collecting seven saves and picking up three ground balls.

Among Big 12 goalkeepers, Altshuler ranks fourth in saves per game at 5.22.
