Ebersole earns MAC weekly defensive honor
Field hockey senior Abigail Ebersole was named the Mid-American Defensive Player of the Week.
Ebersole, who plays in goal, had 30 saves in two games this past weekend against Longwood and Saint Francis. She has started in four games this season and appeared in eight games.
To this point, Ebersole has 70 saves on the season and has earned one of the teams two wins.
After initially splitting time early in the season with Keelin Boeker, Ebersole has taken a larger share of minutes at the goalkeeper position for coach Catherine Ostoich.
Ebersole currently leads the MAC and is ranked top five in the nation in saves per game with 8.75.
The Chippewas began MAC play against Longwood on Sept. 20 and lost 1-0. Ebersole had 15 saves in the game.
CMU will head into the bulk of its conference games when it takes on Ball State September 28 in Muncie, Indiana. Both teams sit at 2-7 on the year and 0-1 in MAC play.
