Senior goalkeeper recorded back-to-back shutouts as Long Beach State opened the season unbeaten
LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Long Beach State goalkeeper Aurora Schuck has been named The Big West Defensive Player of the Week, the conference announced Monday. Schuck earns the first defensive weekly honor of the 2026 season after helping the Beach open the year unbeaten with a pair of shutouts.
Schuck played all 180 minutes in goal as Long Beach State went 1-0-1 without allowing a goal. She finished the week with five saves.
The senior opened the season by making two saves in a 0-0 draw against Saint Mary's, turning away both shots she faced on goal.
Schuck followed that performance with her second consecutive clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Colgate. She made three saves to earn her first win of the season, including two stops in the second half to preserve the one-goal advantage.
