She recorded a season-high four ground balls and forced two turnovers during the game. With this honor, Peluso has now received the Big 12 Defender of the Week award five times in her career. Two games into the season, she is third in the conference with an average of 2.00 caused turnovers per game.
Elena Oh, a sophomore from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, added five saves in Colorado’s 8-5 win over Cornell. She currently leads all Big 12 goalkeepers in minutes played and ranks sixteenth nationally with a goals against average (GAA) of 7.00.
