FOREST, Va. – Junior goalkeeper Valentina Ambrogi-Torres (Richmond, Va./Trinity Episcopal School) has been named ODAC Defensive Player of the Week for a career-high third time this season and for the sixth time in her career.
 
Ambrogi-Torres guided her team to a 2-1 record in the past week, including a shutout. The junior posted a career-high 20 saves while only allowing one goal against Mary Washington. She followed this performance by registering her 14th career shutout, anchoring the Yellow Jackets in a 3-0 win at Lancaster Bible. Ambrogi-Torres' week was capped off with a 3-2 victory against Centre, holding the Colonels scoreless through three frames of play.
