UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Redshirt sophomore Brittany Basinger has been selected to the TopDrawerSoccer.com Team of the Week. This is the first national honor for Basinger.

Basinger, a defender, played all 180 minutes in a pair of shutout wins over No. 2 Stanford (2-0) and Santa Clara (1-0) this past weekend. Against the second-ranked Cardinal, Basinger scored in the 66th minute to secure a 2-0 victory for the Nittany Lions. The 2-0 loss for the Cardinal is the first two-goal loss at home since the 2007 season.

Also, goalkeeper Britt Eckerstrom (Germantown, Md.) was named honorable mention. Eckerstrom made four saves against Stanford and two saves against Santa Clara.
