BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Three student-athletes from WKU Soccer earned Conference USA Awards, the league announced on Wednesday. Maddie Davis was named Goalkeeper of the Year and All-CUSA First Team while Kendall Wade was named to the All-CUSA Third Team. Abby Wiedermann earned All-Freshman Team honors.
Davis gave up just six goals in CUSA play this year, good for a 0.667 goals against average which is tied for the best in the league. She registered five clean sheets in conference play, also tied for the most in the CUSA. Her 86.0 save percentage was the best during conference play.
The Waterloo, Illinois native was named CUSA Goalkeeper of the Week twice during the season, earning the honor on Sept. 24 and Oct. 29. Davis was previously named to the All-CUSA Second Team in 2023.
Davis now has 14 career shutouts which is tied for the third most in WKU history. The redshirt junior's 123 career saves are fifth at WKU and her career 1.14 goals against average is currently fourth.
Wade and Wiedermann were the center of the WKU backline this season that helped Davis notch six total clean sheets, five in conference play. The WKU defense shut out CUSA's top offensive team in FIU on their home turf while also shutting out Liberty at home.
Wiedermann was awarded CUSA Defensive Player of the Week for her defensive play against Noemi Paquin of FIU, the league's top goal scorer, holding her to no goals and only one shot on goal.
