NASHVILLE – Trevecca Nazarene University women's soccer players Dani Witsman and Penelope Charroin earned Gulf South Conference weekly honors for the week ending Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026.
Witsman was selected as the GSC Defender of the Week, while Charroin was named the GSC Goalkeeper of the Week.
The pair helped lead a Trevecca defense that did not allow a goal during a 2-0 week, highlighted by a historic 1-0 victory over No. 9 Lee University and a 3-0 road victory at Christian Brothers University.
The Trojans did not allow a goal over 180 minutes while collecting a pair of victories and outscoring their opponents 4-0.
Trevecca's win over No. 9 Lee was the first for the Trojans over the Flames in program history.

Witsman, a junior defender from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, helped anchor the Trevecca back line during consecutive shutouts against Lee and Christian Brothers.
The Trojans opened the week Wednesday against No. 9 Lee, keeping the nationally ranked Flames off the scoreboard in a 1-0 victory at the Trevecca Soccer Complex.
