Emory University's Lee Bachouros earned University Athletic Association (UAA) Defensive Athlete of the Week honors for women's soccer, following her performance during two games last weekend.

Bachouros played the entirety of two games last weekend, helping hold opposing teams to just 12 shots, only four of which were on goal.  In a 1-0 overtime loss to the 10^th-ranked University of Rochester on Friday, Bachouros and the Emory defense held the Yellowjackets to just six shots, three of which were on goal.  During the Eagles' 2-1 win over Case Western Reserve University on Sunday, the freshman defender helped the Eagles limit the Spartans to just one shot on goal, and six shots total. 

She becomes the third Emory women's soccer player to be named a UAA Athlete of the Week this season, joining Kirsten Baecher (Sep. 15) and Emily Rubin (Sep. 28).  All three players earned the honor based on their defensive efforts.

Bachouros has been a key member of the Emory defense, which has recorded a 1.29 goals-against average this season.  Her play has helped Emory to a 5-5-5 record this season.
