Jayden Perry Selected Big Ten Defensive Player of Week
October 22, 2024 | Women's Soccer
UCLA's Jayden Perry has been named the Big Ten Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week, her second award in the last three weeks and the Bruins' third in the last four weeks.
ย
Perry, a senior from Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., led the Bruin defense to a pair of shutouts against Top 20 teams in No. 16 Penn State (0-0 tie) and No. 15 Ohio State (1-0 win). Additionally, she scored the game's only goal against Ohio State, the game-winning penalty kick in the 61st minute. The Bruin defense allowed just three shots against Penn State and four against Ohio State (including none in the second half). Perry's defensive play has helped UCLA record 13 shutouts in 18 games this season, second-most in the nation. The Bruins' team goals against average of 0.333 ranks second-best in the nation and first in the Big Ten, and their shutout percentage of 0.722 ranks first in the Big Ten and fourth in the nation.
ย
UCLA will play USC on Sunday, Oct. 27 in a battle for the Big Ten regular season title. The match will take place at Dignity Health Sports Park in the main stadium. Admission is free.
