SAN DIEGO - San Diego State women's soccer forward Jen Klunder and defender Noelle Jouglet earned national honors on Wednesday. Klunder was named to the Soccer Buzz National Elite Team of the Week, while Jouglet was selected to the Soccer America Team of the Week. On Monday, Klunder (offensive) and Jouglet (defensive) were named the Mountain West Conference Players of the Week.
Klunder and Jouglet helped the Aztecs (5-6-5, 2-0-2 MWC) to two shutouts over the weekend - a 1-0 victory against Wyoming on Oct. 15 and a 1-0 overtime triumph over New Mexico on Oct. 17. SDSU is currently tied for first place in the MWC with UNLV (3-1).
Klunder (La Mirada, Calif.), a sophomore, tallied two game-winning goals in back-to-back wins for the Aztecs. Against Wyoming, Klunder scored on a header at the 76:56 mark. Against the Lobos, Klunder scored from five yards out just over three minutes into the first overtime. Klunder leads the squad in shots (30), shots on goal (16) and game-winning goals (two). This season, she is tied for the team-lead in goals (three), assists (one) and points (seven). Klunder was one of only three sophomores named to the Oct. 11-17 team.
A La Mesa, Calif. native, Jouglet leads a defense that has posted four consecutive shutouts and has gone 477:52 without allowing goal, the longest streak in program history. SDSU last surrendered a goal versus then No. 3 Washington on Oct. 3. Against New Mexico on Oct. 17, Jouglet and the Aztec defense limited the Lobos to just three shots on goal. Jouglet, a senior, also added an assist on Klunder's game-winning goal versus Wyoming (Oct. 15). Jouglet was one of the two defenders selected to the Oct. 11-17 team.
Klunder and Jouglet and their Aztec teammates return to action with a home MWC match at the SDSU Sports Deck against Air Force at 3 p.m. Friday.
