Bannon garners her second adidas/NEC Defensive Player of the Week honor after a solid weekend in goal for LIU. The Rhode Island native picked up the shutout with three saves Friday night in the Blackbirds’ 2-0 win over NJIT. In a Sunday matinee matchup with Ivy foe Columbia the Blackbirds shutout the Lions for the first 81 minutes of the game, but Columbia netted the game winner with just nine minutes to go resulting in a 1-0 setback for LIU. The junior recorded seven saves in the loss and now holds a 1.21 goals-against average on the season.
