Senior goalkeeper Griselda Revolorio was named Missouri Valley Goalkeeper of the Week in back-to-back weeks for her past two performances, and junior Abbey MacDonald took Defender of the Week after her performance vs. Valparaiso.

The Bulldogs opened with a 4-0 win at Valparaiso, beat Evansville 2-1 and UIC 2-0, then dropped their first point in a 1-1 draw at Indiana State on Oct. 11. Their three losses came at Wyoming and at Colorado College in August and at South Dakota on Sept. 6.
The attack runs through Angela Gutierrez, who has nine of Drake's 27 goals and leads the Bulldogs with 23 points and 41 shots. Zoey Mahoney has six of the team's 34 assists. Drake has drawn 62 corner kicks to its opponents' 45.
Addie Ford has made six starts with a 0.43 goals-against average, 19 saves and two shutouts, and Kate Hopma has made seven with a 0.67 mark, 12 saves and two shutouts. Drake has needed only 31 saves all season. Murray State has 62.
The Bulldogs are the most penalized team Murray State has faced in conference play, with 12 yellow cards, enough to lead the MVC, and a red. The Racers have four yellows and no reds.
