Barraza's impressive season in goal nets him third weekly accolade
NEW YORK – For the third time this season and second-straight week, senior goalkeeper Luis Barraza has earned BIG EAST Conference weekly distinction, the league office announced on Monday.
Â
Barraza tied a career-high with 10 saves, including six in the first half, against Providence on Saturday. He came just 16 seconds away from his fourth shutout of the season, which would've been a career-high. The Friars converted a header off a free kick in the waning moments of a scoreless game as Marquette was stunned in the final minute.
Â
The Santa Teresa, New Mexico, native currently leads the BIG EAST and ranks in the nation's top-10 in save percentage (.857), while also leading the league in saves per game (5.25) and ranking third in goals against average (0.85) and shutouts per game (0.38).
Â
The Golden Eagles return to Valley Fields on Saturday, Oct. 13, to take on St. John's in BIG EAST battle. Kickoff is set for 7:05 p.m. Central time.
