Tusculum College junior goalkeeper Marissa Williams has been named the South Atlantic Conference Co-Player of the Week in Women's soccer for the week ending Sept. 22, the conference office announced Tuesday.

Williams totaled 10 saves while recording two shutouts for Tusculum, in a 0-0 draw at Queens on Wednesday and a 4-0 victory at Mars Hill on Saturday. Against Queens, the Canton, Mich. native stopped a penalty kick to preserve a scoreless tie for the second time this season, one of her six saves in the match. In the win over Mars Hill, Williams tallied four saves to help Pioneer head coach Mike Joy earn his 300th career victory.

Williams' two shutouts increased her career total to 17, moving her into a tie for second on the program's career shutout list. She ranks second in the SAC with a save percentage of .851 and has made 40 saves to rank third in the conference.

Wingate goalkeeper Ashlyn Hardie shared the award with Williams after duplicating her feat of two shutouts in a win and draw for the Bulldogs.

The Pioneers (2-3-1 overall, 1-0-1 SAC) host Lees-McRae in a non-conference match on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Pioneer Field.
