KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State student-athletes Reilly Madden and Deonna Wellbrock received MIAA Women’s Soccer Athlete of the Week honors on Tuesday (Sept. 7) for their efforts in a pair of home matches to start the 2021 season last week. They helped the Tigers to shutout victories over Augustana and Sioux Falls of the Northern Sun Conference. Madden was named Defender of the Week, and Wellbrock was named Co-Goalkeeper of the Week.
Madden helped the Tigers produce two clean sheets to open up the 2021 season at home. She played all 90 minutes in both contests. She helped the Tiger defense limit Augustana to eight shots overall in the season opener, then helped the Tigers limit Sioux Falls to just two shots. She picked up two points for week by providing a pair of assists on the two goals for FHSU against Sioux Falls, both on plays that produced double assists.
Wellbrock recorded two shutout victories in goal for FHSU at home this past weekend. She had to make seven saves in the win over Augustana and then just one against Sioux Falls. She faced a total of 10 shots for the week with eight of those shots being on goal.
Madden and Wellbrock join Kaili Campbell from Missouri Western (Offensive Athlete of the Week) and Central Missouri’s Lindsey Johnson (Co-Goalkeeper of the Week) as the weekly honorees from the conference office.
