The Northwest Conference office unveiled its weekly award winners on Monday with Pacific Lutheran University goalkeeper Natalie Robinson landing NWC Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week honors for the second time this season.

The senior from Seattle, Washington nabs the honor after making five saves and posting one shutout over the weekend, playing all 200 minutes between the posts. Robinson collected her ninth clean sheet of the season on Saturday, making four saves in a gritty 1-0 win over George Fox University. The following day, Robinson made one save and played all 110 minutes in a 1-1 double overtime draw against Linfield College. 

This is the second time this season Robinson was honored by the league and the fifth time a Lute has earned NWC Athlete of the Week. Robinson previously won the award on Sept. 10. Brianna Hunting was the NWC Defender of the Week on Sept. 24 while Ellie Johnson (Oct. 1) and Leah Magee (Oct. 16) have both captured NWC Offensive Player of the Week honors.
