(Nov. 15) Emory University senior defenders Megan Fox and Lindsay Murphy were part of a defense that didn't allow a goal in regulation last week in two NCAA Division III national tournament games. The Eagles' defense shut out Maryville College (Tenn.) in the first round of the playoffs allowing only two shots on goal. The Eagles then shut out Lynchburg College (Va.), ranked No. 10 in the nation, in regulation, before allowing a goal eight minutes into overtime. The goal broke a streak of 305 minutes that the Eagles had not allowed a goal, their second-best such streak this season, as the opponent scored for the first time since October 31. Murphy and Fox helped the Eagles defense to nine shutouts this year as the defense allowed only five goals in the last 11 games.
(Nov. 8) Adrienne DeMarais helped Emory University clinch the University Athletic Association championship and a spot in the NCAA national tournament with a 1-0 shutout win against Carnegie Mellon Univeristy (PA). The sophomore goalkeeper had six saves in the game as she earned her sixth shutout in nine games since becoming the full-time goalie for the Eagles, compiling a 0.44 goals against average for those nine games. She is now a perfect 6-0 in conference play, including a conference-best four shutouts in UAA games. The win over Carnegie Mellon gives the Eagles their fourth conference championship in the history of the UAA.

Hudak also had an assist in the match, which the Eagles went on to win 3-2 in the second overtime period. In the following game at New York University with the game tied and poised to go into overtime, Hudak scored with five seconds on the clock to give the Eagles a 2-1 victory. With five goals and twelve points, Hudak is having the most productive season of her career after missing all of last season with an injury. Three of her goals have come in conference play as Hudak has scored a game-winning or game-tying goal in three consecutive conference matches.
(Oct. 25) Freshman Jamie English scored five points last week helping Emory University to a win over Wesleyan College (Ga.). English scored two goals and had one assist in the 7-0 victory.
