INDIANAPOLIS – The Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) has announced its Week 6 Athletic Solutions Women's Soccer Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, with Drury's Katy Fitzler earning Defensive Player of the Week honors.
 
The senior goalkeeper from O'Fallon recorded two shutouts last week, totaling five saves across a 0-0 draw against Rockhurst and a 5-0 win at Upper Iowa.
 
This marks the fourth Defensive Player of the Week honor of Fitzler's career and her second of the 2026 season. Missouri S&T's Aubrey Case was named the league's Offensive Player of the Week after scoring two goals and recording one assist against McKendree and Lewis.
 
With her two shutouts, Fitzler now has 28 career shutouts, the third most in program history. She ranks fifth among active NCAA Division II goalkeepers in career shutouts. The win at Upper Iowa was her 29th career victory, also the third most in program history.
 
Fitzler and the Panthers travel to William Jewell on Oct. 14.
