Red Storm Goalkeeper Kristin Russell Earns Two Honors For Play Over Weekend

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - St. John's women's soccer goalkeeper Kristin Russell has earned two honors for her play this weekend, as she was named the BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week and was named to the TopDrawerSoccer.com Team of the Week. The league honor is the second-straight for the freshman, while the TopDrawerSoccer.com honor is the first of her career.

Russell posted consecutive shutouts over the weekend, helping lead the Red Storm to a perfect 2-0 slate and to the Blue Hen Classic tournament title. She started and played all 90 minutes of both contests and saved all seven shots she faced. The St. Petersburg, Fla., native opened the tournament making two saves in a 1-0 win over Towson, and had one of her best performances to date with a season-high five saves in a 1-0 win over Delaware. For her efforts, she was named to the all-tournament team.

The freshman has started and played in every minute of all three Red Storm games this season and has been perfect in net with three shutout wins.

St. John's will look to continue its winning streak when it travels to face Yale on Sunday at 3:30 p.m.
