GAINESVILLE, Fla. – In addition to being named the AAC Defensive Player of the Week, senior Haley Hicklen was named a IWLCA Defensive Player of the Week, as announced on Wednesday.
Hicklen put up two strong performances in the cage against two Top-20 opponents this past week in then-No. 9 Princeton and then-No. 17 Stony Brook.
Against the Seawolves, she posted a .583 save percentage, coming up 15 saves. That was just one off both her career-best and the program-best and was her fifth performance in double-digit saves this season.
Hicklen also recorded seven saves against Princeton, as well as registering three groundballs. The senior sits first in the conference in save percentage (.455) and saves per game (10.20). She also is second in goals against average (12.36) and total saves (102), as well as fourth in groundballs per game (2.70).
The senior currently holds Florida's all-time records in both saves and groundballs, sitting at 488 saves and 164 groundballs.
The Gators are back in action on Saturday for their first conference bout in the American Athletic – taking on Temple in Philadelphia, Pa. Opening draw is set for 12 p.m.
