STANFORD, Calif. - Junior Jasmine Aikey has been named ACC co-Defensive Player of the Week, the conference announced on Tuesday.
Lauren Hargrove (Virginia Tech) is also co-Defensive Player of the Week, while Wake Forest's Caiya Hanks nabbed Offensive Player of the Week.
Aikey played all 90 minutes at center back as No. 1 Stanford posted a 1-0 shutout victory at No. 11 Santa Clara on Sunday afternoon to complete a perfect 8-0 run through the nonconference slate.
Aikey, a preseason All-ACC selection, is listed on the MAC Hermann Trophy watch list. The 2023 Pac-12 Midfielder of the Year has been used primarily as a center back this season and has anchored a Cardinal defense that has allowed just two goals through eight contests. Stanford has posted a shutout in six of its first eight matches of the season and has managed a clean sheet in 26 of its last 41 contests overall.
With the nonconference schedule complete, the top-ranked Cardinal will begin ACC play on Thursday when it travels to Wake Forest for a 4 p.m. PT kickoff. Stanford's inaugural ACC contest will be streamed live on ACC Network Extra.
