Hope College goalie Jordanne Ellingboe has been chosen the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week for games played between October 9-14.

The freshman from Grand Haven, Michigan (Grand Haven HS) is recognized for the first time after recording two shutouts in MIAA victories last week.

Ellingboe made six saves during a 4-0 victory against second-place Olivet College on Tuesday at Van Andel Soccer Stadium.

Ellingboe collected five saves during a 2-0 victory against second-place Kalamazoo College on Saturday at Van Andel Soccer Stadium.

Ellingboe helped the MIAA-leading Flying Dutch extend their lead to seven points with four league matches remaining. Hope could clinch its sixth MIAA championship and second in a row as early as this week.

Ellingboe has allowed only two goals in 12 MIAA matches this season.
