Eliza Paisley was named Defender of the Week and
Sydney Jones won Goalkeeper of the Week for the second consecutive week.
Paisley scored her first career goal in Belmont's 2-0 road win against Illinois State on Sept. 22. A member of Belmont's backline, Paisley and the Bruins held Evansville and Illinois State to a season-low eight shots. The junior has started in nine matches and played 593 minutes.
