Emory University senior Lauren Gorodetsky played all 180 minutes on defense during of a pair of games last week, helping the 12th-ranked Eagles go 1-1-0, including an upset victory over fourth-ranked Lynchburg College on Sunday. Gorodetsky and the Eagles’ backline limited their two opponents to a combined two goals (one on a penalty kick and the other on a free kick), 22 shots and 10 shots on goal. During a 1-0 loss to NCAA Division II program Lee University, she helped the defense limit the higher-division program to 12 shots, including five on goal, with the lone goal in the contest coming on a penalty kick. On Sunday, the three-time all-American and two-time University Athletic Association (UAA) Most Valuable Player led Emory to a 3-1 win over the fourth-ranked Hornets, holding the team to one goal on 10 shots, just five of which were on goal. The Eagles have recorded a 0.93 goals-against average through their first six games of the 2013 season. Emory improved to 3-2-1 on the year with Sunday’s win, and extended its home undefeated streak to 25 games, the 19th-longest stretch in NCAA Division III history.
