LOCK HAVEN, Pa. -- After four consecutive shutouts, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) announced on Monday afternoon that East Stroudsburg University women's soccer goalkeeper Mauri Jackson was selected as the PSAC East Defensive Athlete of the Week.  

Jackson registered a combined 16 saves in a pair of shutout victories over Shippensburg (six saves) and Lock Haven (10 saves). The Mount Royal, N.J. native has now totaled four consecutive shutouts, which is just one clean sheet away from tying the program record of five consecutive scoreless outings (1993, 2014, 2016).

Jackson and the ESU defense has not allowed a goal since Oct. 16, when #5 Kutztown recorded a golden goal in overtime to defeat the Warriors. Since that moment, ESU has defeated Mansfield (2-0), Staten Island (1-0), Shippensburg (2-0) and Lock Haven (1-0, 2OT). Over ESU's four-game winning streak, Jackson has not allowed a single goal in 372:25 of game clock, combining for 23 saves.

Jackson now has fourth consecutive shutouts and seven clean sheets this season. In 56 games during her Warrior career, the Mount Royal, N.J. native has 25 solo shutouts, which trails Stacyy Linzenbold's 27 shutouts for second all-time in program history.

Through 56 career games, Jackson has totaled 267 saves, which ranks fourth all-time in program history.

This season, Jackson ranks second in the PSAC in shutouts (7), goalkeeper minutes played (1508:43), fourth in save percentage (.841) and fifth in total saves (90).

The player of the week honor is the fourth of Jackson's career which is tied with Justina Woolf for second all-time at ESU. She earned defensive athlete of the week on three occasions during the 2019 season.

The Warriors battle Millersville with PSAC Tournament implications on the line on Wednesday night at Eiler-Martin Stadium. The winner will hold sole possession of third place with one game to go in the regular season.
