The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) has announced its weekly awards for Week 10 of the 2023 women's soccer season. Northern Michigan's redshirt freshman goalkeeper, Jillian Thompson, received the honor of GLIAC Defensive Player of the Week.
Thompson secured her GLIAC-leading 12th win and shutout on Thursday with a 1-0 victory over Michigan Tech. This victory contributed to the Wildcats securing their first-ever GLIAC regular-season title. During the match, Thompson achieved a career-high by making seven saves. Her 12 shutouts not only lead the GLIAC but are also tied for second nationally in Division II women's soccer, just one behind the national leader.
Additionally, NMU forward Stephanie Trujillo received an Honorable Mention for GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week due to her game-winning goal against Michigan Tech.
