AUGUSTA, Ga. | Georgia College & State University's Chloe Markey has been named the Peach Belt Conference Women's Soccer Defender of the Week ending Nov. 3.
Markey, a senior defender from Alpharetta, Georgia, led the Bobcat defense to a 1-0 win over Georgia Southwestern State University Saturday (Nov. 2), a victory with a huge impact as it lifted GCSU into fourth place in the league standings, which, depending on how things work out, could lead to the No. 4 seed and a home game in the quarterfinals of the PBC Tournament. Markey and the GCSU defense held the Hurricanes to just three shots, including one shot in the second half with a 1-0 lead. The shutout was GCSU's fifth of the season and second in its last four games as they closed the season with a four-match winning streak, never allowing more than one goal at any time.
The Bobcats return to action Saturday (Nov. 9) with a quarterfinal match in the 2024 Peach Belt Tournament. Pairings will be announced after the Lander University/University of North Georgia makeup match later Monday (Nov. 4).
