BOULDER – Colorado lacrosse's freshman goalkeeper Elena Oh (Chapel Hill, N.C./East Chapel Hill HS) was chosen as Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Week, the Conference announced Tuesday, Mar. 11.
The freshman notches her second conference award after her third collegiate appearance against the then-No. 5 Michigan Wolverines last Saturday, Mar. 8. Though the Buffs fell in the final quarter of the game, Oh collected 11 saves, a .478 save percentage and picked up two ground balls. This performance keeps her in second in the Big 12 for overall save percentage (.468) and third for saves per game (9.67). In her four games played, she has racked up 35 saves and faced 92 shots.
The Buffs recorded their second win of the season in tumultuous fashion over Marquette, 15-6. Oh collected six saves and faced 12 shots from the Golden Eagles, reaching a .500 save percentage. This was CU's first unranked opponent of the season, having already played two teams in the IWLCA top-five and all five in the top-25.
Colorado takes on Iona this Saturday at Prentup Field at 12 p.m. MT. CU will also play Stony Brook (Mar. 20) at home this month before going to Houston for a neutral game with Dartmouth (Mar. 23).
