The Big 12 Conference honored Kansas University soccer players Estelle Johnson and Emily Cressy this week.
Johnson was named the conference’s Defensive Player of the Week, while Cressy was named Newcomer of the Week.
Johnson, a junior defender from Fort Collins, Colo., played all 90 minutes of KU’s 3-0 victory over No. 20 Purdue. She led the charge in KU’s first shutout against a ranked opponent at home since 2005. Cressy, a redshirt freshman forward from Ventura, Calif., scored a goal and added an assist in her first collegiate match against Purdue.
