ROCHESTER, NY -- Junior goalkeeper Amanda Murray (Denville, NJ/Morris Knolls) of the RIT women's soccer team was named Liberty League Women's Soccer Defender of the Week on Monday afternoon for the week ending Sept. 1, 2013. It is the second Liberty League weekly honor of her career.

Murray helped RIT to a pair of thrilling, double overtime wins over the weekend at the 2013 Rachel Miller Memorial Tournament. On Friday, she made three saves and did not allow a goal in nearly 107 minutes of action as RIT beat Allegheny College 1-0. With just twenty seconds to play in the first overtime, Murray made a nice diving stop to keep the game tied and send it to a second OT. On Saturday, she made five saves and picked up her second straight shut out win as RIT beat Otterbein 1-0 in the 107th minute. Murray made a big save late in the second half, and another early in the first overtime to keep the game scoreless and allow the Tigers to win. 

Dating back to last season, Murray is 7-0-3 over her last 10 games, allowing just four goals in that stretch.

RIT (2-0-0) hits the road for a pair of games at the Mayor's Cup in Oneonta. On Saturday, the Tigers will face SUNY Oneonta at 1 p.m, and on Sunday, will face Hartwick College at 2:30 p.m. Both games will be played in Oneonta, N.Y.
