Louisiana Tech goalkeeper Sarah Melén was named CUSA Goalkeeper of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday afternoon.
Melén’s eight-save outing against UL-Layfayette on Sunday night earned Tech its first CUSA Goalkeeper of the Week honor since the 2022which Sydnee Korchak earned the honor with her seven-save evening against ULL.
Melén, a former two-time MAC Defensive Player of the Week at Kent State, faced 20 shots against ULL on Sunday while collecting eight saves in her Bulldog debut. Before transferring to Louisiana Tech, Melén was second all-time in minutes, tied second in shutouts, third in saves, and tied for fourth in wins during her time at Kent State.
Tech will face South Alabama on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Robert Mack Caruthers in their home opener of the 2024 season.
