Embry-Riddle's goalkeeper, Annabelle Ruckle, has been named the GSAC Women's Soccer Defender of the Week, highlighting her pivotal role in the team's recent successes against tough competitors. From Phoenix, Arizona, Ruckle's outstanding goalkeeping skills were instrumental in Embry-Riddle securing a win and a tie this week, contributing significantly to the team's defensive strength.
Ruckle's remarkable performance included ten saves, effectively neutralizing the offensive threats from Hope International and helping Embry-Riddle avenge an earlier season loss to The Master's. Her agility and sharp reflexes were key in maintaining clean sheets and formulating a robust defensive strategy that stifled the high scoring efforts of their opponents.
