San Diego Miramar College soccer player Stephanie Carlson has been selected as the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference Women’s Athlete of the Week for the week that ended Sunday.
Carlson, Miramar’s freshman goalkeeper from Mira Mesa High School, has played a huge role as the Jets have gone 15-2-3 while winning the PCAC Northern Division championship and advancing to the second round of the Southern California playoffs.
On Friday, she recorded her ninth shutout of the season, notching three saves as the Jets defeated Citrus 6-0 in their first regional game.
Carlson’s shutouts have come against PCAC Southern Division champion San Diego Mesa in a 0-0 tie, Palomar twice, Southwestern, San Diego City College, Mt. San Jacinto, Imperial Valley and Grossmont. She’s combined with teammate Karolina Salazar on two other shutouts.
Carson has allowed 0.66 goals per game and has an .850 save percentage.
Honorable mention went to Mesa soccer goalkeeper Elizabeth Stabile, Mesa cross country runner Grace Hanshaw and basketball players Brianna Davis of Southwestern and Cora Lopez from Mt. San Jacinto.
