FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- Goalkeeper Zoe Rosen earned the Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Week after leading the Fairfield University field hockey team to a 1-1 week. The Stags opened the week with a 2-1 setback to Monmouth University before rallying for a 2-1 win over Yale University last Sunday.

Rosen opened the week with 13 saves against Monmouth including an impressive seven in the fourth quarter to keep the Stags within striking distance of the visiting team. She followed up with three saves in the team's win against Yale but two of those saves came in the final six minutes to protect the Stags' one-goal lead. For the week, Rosen finished with a .842 save percentage with a 1.50 goals against average. 

The graduate student is tied for fifth in the nation with 8.50 saves per game, posting 34 saves in her four starts this season. She has a solid .810 save percentage this season with 34 stops on 42 shots on goal. Rosen allowed four goals in the first two quarters of the season but has yielded just four goals over the last 10 quarters, giving her a 3.00 goals against average for the season.

The Fairfield University field hockey team, under Head Coach Jackie Kane, will continue play this weekend, beginning with a road game against Quinnipiac University on Friday. The Stags will wrap up the weekend by hosting Temple University on Sunday afternoon at University Field. Game time for the Temple match is 12 pm.
