“This award is terrific for Jake and well-deserved,” said head coach Pete Fewing. “He has faced a tremendous amount of shots this season and has kept us in so many games. I’m very pleased for him and the defense to have gotten a shutout last weekend because he’s been outstanding all season long.”
In the team’s lone game over the weekend, Feener led the defense in the team’s 4-0 shutout at San Jose State, recording eight saves in 90 minutes of play. This was Feener’s seventh career shutout and marked the sixth time this season he has recorded eight or more saves. To date this season, he continues to lead the nation in total saves (74), ranking second in saves per game (7.4).
Houston Baptist’s Patrick Toh was named Offensive Player of the Week after recording a career-high three points at Kansas City and assisting the game-winner versus Oral Roberts.
