IRVING, Texas — No. 3 BYU women’s soccer goalkeeper Lynette Hernaez received Big 12 Co-Goalkeeper of the Week honors for the first time, the league announced Wednesday.
No. 3 BYU faced No. 19 Wisconsin in the 2024 season opener last week, defeating the Badgers 1-0 on South Field. The Cougars have now notched seven season-opening wins in a row.
Hernaez started and played all 90 minutes against the Badgers, making six crucial saves to hold the 1-0 lead. When Wisconsin was awarded a penalty kick in the second half and had a chance to tie the match, Hernaez made a diving save to her left to secure the shutout victory.
