FHSU Athletics
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State defender Reilly Madden was named the MIAA Defender of the Week on Tuesday for her efforts in a pair of matches last week. Madden helped the No. 23 ranked Tigers to a 5-0 win over Missouri Southern before playing to a 1-1 tie with No. 5 ranked Central Missouri to remain unbeaten this season, now at 9-0-7 overall and 4-0-5 in the MIAA.
In the win over Missouri Southern, Madden scored her second goal of the season and played all 90 minutes. She helped FHSU secure its 10th shutout this year by limiting MSSU to just six shots and one shot on goal. Madden then helped the Tigers limit Central Missouri to just eight shots in a draw, playing the entire 90 minutes once again.
The Tiger captain has played all 1,440 minutes for the Tigers this season at center back and has helped the Tigers allow the fewest goals among MIAA teams this season (7).
Madden joins Amaya Grace of (Offensive Athlete of the Week) and Caroline Faulkner (Goalkeeper of the Week), both of Central Oklahoma, as the weekly honorees from the conference office.
