CHICAGO --- Senior defender Emma Reutter (Mason, Mich.) and junior midfielder Rachel Killbry (Spring Lake, Mich.) helped Olivet Nazarene University maintain its lock on a Top 10 national ranking with their performances over the past seven days and in the process enabled the Tigers to sweep Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Player of the Week accolades for the week ending Sept. 30.

Killbry earned the defensive recognition by anchoring a unit that posted two shutouts in wins over CCAC rivals Roosevelt University and Cardinal Stritch University.  In fact, neither team had an attempted shot on goal against ONU's defense with Cardinal Stritch not even getting a shot off in its 5-0 loss on Saturday.  Roosevelt, meanwhile, was limited to just two shots total in a 2-0 setback on Tuesday.

Reutter garnered the offensive honors for the conference by authoring a goal and an assist in the Cardinal Stritch victory. 

The two league wins left Olivet Nazarene as one of only two remaining unbeatens in the conference (3-0 – tied with Trinity International University) and pushed its overall mark to 7-2.  The Tigers have won three games in a row.
