San Antonio - Trinity University Tigers sophomore defender Jennifer White (Albuquerque, N.M./Albuquerque Academy) has been named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week.
 
White led the Tiger defense in recording three shutouts to finish off the regular-season campaign. The Tigers blanked NAIA member Huston-Tillotson 2-0, and SCAC opponents Austin College (2-0) and the University of Dallas (1-0, overtime).
 
The Tigers, who have 15 shutouts for the season, allowed one shot on goal in each of the three games, and yielded only six total shots. For the season, White and the taut Tiger defense have permitted 3.3 shots per game.
 
Trinity, ranked third in the NCAA Division III, completed the regular season with undefeated records of 18-0-0 and 8-0-0 SCAC. The Tigers, led by head coach Lance Key, are the top seeds (and defending champions) in next weekend's SCAC Tournament at Birmingham, Ala.
 
The Tigers have a first-round bye and will take on the winner of No. 4 Rhodes and fifth-seeded Hendrix at noon Saturday in the semifinals.
 
The winner of the six-team tournament, which concludes Sunday, will receive an automatic bid to the NCAA playoffs.
