For the second consecutive week Central Connecticut senior
goalkeeper Erin Herd has been named the Northeast Conference
women's soccer defensive player of the week. Herd allowed only one
goal in a 1-1 week for the Blue Devils and also posted her fifth
shutout of the season.
Herd extended her shutout total to five games - an NEC best - on
Friday with a 2-0 win over Holy Cross. The victory also marked the
fourth consecutive shutout for the Australia native.
Despite a tough loss to #13 Boston College on Sunday, Herd made

over 500 minutes of action. She has stopped 33 of 35 shots faced
this season and has a league-best five shutouts.
The Blue Devils are in action again on Sunday when they play at
Hofstra at 3 p.m.
