Boessen named Wilson/MIAA Goalkeeper of the Week

Sept. 30, 2003

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Senior keeper recorded fifth career shutout last week

For the second straight week, the Missouri Southern women’s soccer team has a Wilson/Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association Player of the Week.

Last week, junior forward Tera Reisner captured the honor. This week, senior goalkeeper Kim Boessen (Holts Summit, Mo./Jefferson City Helias HS) earned the award that’s designated specifically for goalkeepers.

Boessen charted her fifth career shutout in a 2-0 win Thursday (Sept. 25) over Central Missouri State, helping the Lions to remain unbeaten in MIAA action (2-0-1). She moved into a tie atop the Missouri Southern career list for shutouts, tying Moe Ybarra (2000-01).

Boessen needed to make just two saves in the victory over Central Missouri, as Southern prevailed thanks to a pair of goals from Reisner in the 72nd and 78th minutes.

Boessen has played every minute of the 2003 season in goal for the Lions (750:00). She currently ranks No. 2 on the MSSU all-time lists for career minutes (2405:43) and saves (172).

Missouri Southern (3-4-1 overall) resumes its schedule on Wednesday when it visits Nothwest Missouri State for a 4 p.m. contest.
