The graduate of Crestwood High School owns 33 career wins and needs just four more to take over the No. 1 spot. Lindsay Williams (2002-05) has the most careers wins with 36.
• After breaking the women’s soccer career shutout record Sept. 18 and following that up with another clean sheet Sept. 20, senior goalkeeper Lauren Robertson was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week for the second time this season.
