PENALTY KICKS 2 2 After starting the season 4-0 for the for the first time in program history, the University of Memphis women’s soccer team looks to improve as the Lady Tigers conclude a three-game road swing at Western Kentucky on Sunday. 2 2 The U of M finishes the first of three road trips on the schedule that have three or more games consecutively on the road. 2 Memphis meets Western Kentucky for the second time in the last three seasons. The two sides played an exhibition match last season at WKU in which the match ended in a 1-1 draw. PLAYER OF THE WEEK 2 2 Scoring her first career goal and helping the defense limit Alabama and Samford to three combined shots on goal, Christie Kline was named the C-USA Defensive Player of the Week by the league office on Monday. 2 2 The selection was the 14th time a U of M stu- dent-athlete has earned defensive player of the week honors. 2 2 It was also the second-straight selection for the U of M this season. Lizzy Simonin earned de- fensive player of the week honors in week one. The two-straight selections mark the second time in program history that Lady Tigers were selected in consecutive weeks. SCOUTING MEMPHIS 2 2 Memphis began the 2011 season as winners of four-straight C-USA Tournament Champion- ships. How many teams have accomplished such a feat? In NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer just 13 programs have claimed four or more con- secutive conference championships. Memphis and Boston University of the American East Con- ference carry the nation’s longest active champi- onship streak. 2 2 The Lady Tigers returned nine starters and 15 letterwinners from the 2010 squad. Led by C- USA Defensive Player of the Year Lizzy Simonin, the Memphis defense appears to be the strength of the club as the team readies for the 2011 sea- son. 2 2 Nearly half of the roster this season is repre- sented by newcomers with 15 players in their first season of collegiate soccer. Eight freshmen have seen minutes thus far, accounting for roughly 50 percent of the scoring. SCOUTING WESTERN KENTUCKY 2 2 The Hilltoppers make the short trip to Austin Peay on Friday before hosting the Lady Tigers on Sunday. WKU is off to a 2-1 start this season with victories over Western Carolina (1-0) and Ball State (3-1). The lone loss came last Friday against Vanderbilt, 2-0. 2 2 WKU returned 23 letterwinners from the 2010 squad that posted a 9-8-3 record.
