Sophomore goalie Gussie Johns provides the last line of defense, and she is as stingy as they come. She has held the opponent to seven goals or less in 10 of 11 games, which is a winning formula considering that the Trojans have scored 11 or more goals in every game.
For her latest two performances serving as a nearly impenetrable backstop, Johns was named the MPSF Defensive Player of the Week. She produced her 10th and 11th wins with eight saves through the two games and continues to lead the nation in goals-against average (4.70 gaa) and leads the MPSF (sixth in the NCAA) in save percentage (.527).
