SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – Shippensburg University redshirt-junior goalie Emma Albee was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Field Hockey Defensive Athlete of the Week on Tuesday afternoon by the league office.
 
Shippensburg went 3-0 this week against nationally-ranked opponents, posting a double-overtime road win at No. 7 West Chester (3-2), a home victory over No. 5 Assumption (1-0), and a neutral-site victory over No. 2 Saint Anselm (4-0).
 
Albee made 20 saves over the course of the three matches while yielding just two goals in the second half to the Golden Rams. Her second and third shutouts of the season were the 17th and 18th of her career.
 
She delivered a 10-save performance in the double-overtime win over WCU - her most saves in a single match in more than a year (dating back to the 2023 PSAC Championship game at ESU). She made six saves in the shutout of Assumption and four saves in the shutout of Saint Anselm. Eight of those 10 saves were recorded in the second half to preserve the shutouts.
 
This is the fifth PSAC Defensive Athlete of the Week award of Albee's career and the first conference weekly honor for the Raiders this season. She was a three-time PSAC Defensive Athlete of the Week in 2024 (Sept. 10, Sept. 24, Oct. 15) and one-time honoree in 2023 (Sept. 26).
