Iowa sophomore goalkeeper Hannah Clark has been selected as the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday.

Clark had consecutive shutouts in the Pacific Soccer Classic. The native of Fort Collins, Colo., finished the weekend with 6 saves, a 0.00 goals against average, and a 1.000 saves percentage.

Clark has three career-best three shutouts in four games this season. Last year as a freshman, Clark was named the Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week in October and was also a two-time Co-Big Ten Freshman of the Week honoree.

The Hawkeyes will return to action Friday, hosting Iowa State at 7 p.m. at the Iowa Soccer Complex to kick off the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series.
