Gallagher Named Patriot League Goalkeeper and NAAA Athlete of the Week
Coming off of an undefeated 1-0-1 week of play to kick off the 2022 season, the Mids received more good news on Monday as junior goalkeeper
Mattie Gallagher (Gilbertsville, Pa.) was selected for honors from both the Patriot League and the NAAA. For backstopping Navy to consecutive shutouts, Gallagher was named the Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Week, as well as the NAAA Athlete of the Week presented by Northrop Grumman. Gallagher's first clean sheet came in the season opener when she turned aside three shots on goal by The Citadel in Navy's 2-0 victory on Thursday night. She closed her week on Sunday with 90 minutes of shutout soccer versus Western Carolina. Though only making one save against the Catamounts, Gallagher came through in the clutch as she stopped a penalty kick in the 81st minute to preserve the 0-0 decision. With those two shutouts this past weekend, Gallagher now has nine in her career through just 30 games. This honor from the Patriot League is the sixth of her career as she was previously noted for her excellence on March 30, 2021, April 7, 2021, Aug. 30, 2021, Oct. 18, 2021 and Oct. 25, 2021.
