Colorado goalkeeper Elena Oh has received her third Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Week award for the current season, according to an announcement from the conference on Wednesday.

Oh, a sophomore from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, made five saves in just over 50 minutes during Colorado’s 17-5 victory against Towson. With this performance, she became the fifth goalkeeper in Colorado Buffaloes history to reach at least 100 career saves and currently stands at 101. While in goal against Towson, Oh allowed only three goals and lowered her goals-against average (GAA) to a Big 12-leading 5.96. She now ranks fifth nationally in GAA and is twelfth in the country with a .514 save percentage.

In less than two seasons with Colorado, Oh has earned seven career Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Week honors. Last year, she was recognized four consecutive times.

The Buffaloes will travel to New York this week for two games, starting with a match against No. 18 Stony Brook on Thursday. The start time for that game has been changed to 12:30 p.m. MT.

Tickets for both season and single games are available at CUBuffs.com/WlaxTix. Additional information about Colorado Lacrosse can be found at cubuffs.com/wlax.

Fans can also follow updates about the team on Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Facebook under @cubuffswlax.
