Coffie scored a goal in each of Providence's two BIG EAST victories, totaling four points in wins over St. John's and DePaul.

Coffie played 132 minutes across the two matches, helping Providence earn six conference points.

Against Marquette, Garrett helped limit the Golden Eagles to three shots on goal, including none in the second half. She followed with another strong defensive performance at St. John's, helping hold the Red Storm without a shot on goal as Xavier completed a 2-0 week.

BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week
Addison Ash, Butler, So., GK
Ash recorded seven saves to lead Butler to a 1-0 shutout victory over previously unbeaten Villanova on Saturday.
