KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Wake Forest women's soccer senior goalkeeper Nonie Frishette has been named the United Soccer Coaches Division I Women's Player of the Week, the organization announced Tuesday evening.

Frishette recorded two solo shutouts last week in a 4-0 win over Michigan and a 1-0 upset victory over No. 5 Penn State to move to 3-1-1 on the season.

On Sunday against Penn State, Frishette recorded 12 saves to solidify the victory for the Deacs. The 12 saves were the most in a single game for Wake Forest since 1999 and the most in a single game by an ACC team this season.

Frishette was named the ACC Defensive Player of the Week earlier Tuesday while also earning TopDrawerSoccer Women's Team of the Week honors. She is the first Deacon to be named a National Player of the Week by the United Soccer Coaches (formally National Soccer Coaches Association of America) since Katie Stengel in 2011.

Wake Forest hits the road to take on No. 19 South Carolina this Thursday at 7 p.m.
