AUGUSTA, Ga. - After helping the No. 3 Columbus State University women's soccer team to two victories,
Brooke Ouimette was named the Peach Belt Conference Defender of the Week on Monday.
It's the second time this season Ouimette has brought home the honor.
Ouimette contributed in two CSU shutouts as the Cougars extended their winning streak to five matches this past week. The senior scored her first goal of the year in CSU's 2-0 win over USC Beaufort on Wednesday. She dribbled the ball from midfield before ripping a long-range shot for her first goal of the season. She later added an assist in the 77th minute after a nice pass into the box.
The Sugar Hill, Ga. native then played 68 minutes in a 6-0 Cougar win over Georgia Southwestern on Saturday. The Cougar backline held the Hurricanes to two shots, extending their shutout streak to 316 minutes. CSU is tied for the league lead with a .40 GAA.
Columbus State will be back in action against Young Harris College on Wednesday, Oct. 5 at 2 p.m.
