LAWRENCE, Kan. - Kansas midfielder
Livvy Moore was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week, the conference announced on Wednesday. It is her second time garnering the award this season, with the first coming on Sept. 30.
Â
In Kansas' lone match last week, Moore tallied her 11th assist of the season, which is tied for first in the country, while playing 74 minutes in the Jayhawks' 1-0 win over Iowa State.Â
Â
Moore has collected 11 points this season, tied for third-most among Kansas players this year.
Defensively, she helped anchor Kansas' defense to its ninth shutout win of the campaign, which is good for 10th in the country. The Jayhawks defense allowed only eight shots by the Cyclone offense.
The victory moved the Jayhawks to 11-3-1 on the year, and 6-0 within the confines of Rock Chalk Park.
No. 18 Kansas will play a pair of matches this week, hosting No. 20 BYU at home on Thursday, Oct. 22 at 6 p.m. CT for the Jayhawks for a Cure match, before traveling to Fort Worth, Texas to face TCU on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 1 p.m. CT. Both matches can be seen on ESPN+.
