WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Loyola Chicago's Allison Deardorff was named the Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Week, per the league's announcement on Monday afternoon. Deardorff claimed the final weekly conference honor after combining for 13 saves and a .929 save percentage in the last slate of the regular season. 

At Saint Louis, Deardorff put up eight saves against one of the league's top offenses for her ninth shutout of the season (Oct. 26), and against Rhode Island, Deardorff allowed one goal on a Rams penalty kick and finished the match with five saves (Oct. 23).
