Maryland soccer’s Erin Seppi earns her second Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Week honor

Maryland soccer’s Erin Seppi has been named the Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.

This is the second time the senior has garnered a Big Ten honor this season, sharing the award with Iowa shot-stopper Claire Graves on Sept. 10.

Seppi put together two key performances in two games last week as the Terps continue to push for a spot in the Big Ten tournament.

Against Indiana, she kept a clean sheet through two overtime periods while recording six saves. Seppi followed it up with a two-save effort against Purdue on Sunday. Despite the cold and rainy conditions, the Terps won the match, 2-1.

It marks the fourth time this season a Maryland player has earned Big Ten honors after the Terps had just two do so in 2018.

With just two games remaining in its regular-season slate, Maryland sits in sixth place in the Big Ten, holding a spot in the conference tournament for now. A win over Michigan State on Thursday would clinch a tournament berth for the first time in school history.
