SEATTLE -- The accolades for Washington goalkeeper Ryan Herman have begun to trickle as he was named National Player of the Week by TopDrawerSoccer.com. The senior totalled 16 saves in shutouts of No. 3 Stanford and California over the weekend.
Herman has been sensational all season with eight shutouts, but took it to another level in the Bay Area. It started with a career-high 11 saves in a 0-0 draw with the third-ranked Cardinal. In that match, Herman kept the Dawgs in it with one game-saving after the next.
Sunday, Herman was not tested as often, but made five saves in a 0-0 draw with the Golden Bears. His sprawling reaction save in the 108th minute kept the Huskies from what could have been a late deflating Golden Goal from Cal.
The native of Fall City, Wash. has imporoved his career record to 20-4-8 this season. He currently leads the Pac-12 and is second in the nation with eight shutouts. He also leads the Pac-12 in both total saves with 53 and saves per game at 4.82. His goals against average of 0.57 ranks behind on Andew Epstein of Stanford in the conference.
Herman and the Dawgs will be back in action on Saturday night when they host Oregon State at Husky Soccer Field in an all-important conference matchup at 5 p.m.
