Graduate defender Natalia Sepulveda continued to be the backbone of Embry-Riddle’s top-ranked defense, guiding the Eagles to a pair of conference victories. The Tucson, Arizona native helped ERAU limit opponents to just three total goals on the week while contributing offensively with an assist in a 6-1 win over La Sierra. Sepulveda’s leadership and defensive consistency have been central to the Eagles’ conference-best 0.594 goals-against average, as she once again demonstrated her ability to anchor both sides of the pitch.
