ST. LOUIS – For the second time this season, Missouri State's Evan Stamp was awarded Missouri Valley Conference Goalkeeper of the Week honors, the league office announced Tuesday (Oct. 11). The award is the second accolade in the junior's career and third weekly recognition for the Bears in 2016.
 
Stamp made a career-high 13 saves and allowed just one goal in Missouri State's 1-1 double-overtime draw at Illinois State on Sunday (Oct. 11). She matched her career-high save total in the first half alone, making nine stops on 16 shots taken by Illinois State. The keeper went on to make four more saves, giving her 13 total in the match and 71 on the year. The Redbirds tallied 35 shots in the match, the most the Bears have witnessed by an opponent this season. Stamp has made eight or more saves in a single match on four occasions this season.
 
The Bears (3-7-3, 0-2-1 MVC) return home on Saturday (Oct. 15), when the Indiana State Sycamores (6-8-1, 1-1-1 MVC) visit Betty and Bobby Allison South Stadium at 11:30 a.m. Missouri State will conclude non-conference competition in its annual "Pink Game" on Monday (Oct. 17) at 6 p.m. Fans that wear a pink shirt to the match will receive free admission into the game.
