Defensive Player of the Week
Paige Laytos, Michigan
So., M, Lititz, Pa./Warwick

Laytos helped seal the win over Indiana on Friday with a game-winning overtime goal.  The win earned the Wolverines at least a share of the Big Ten title for 2007.  Defensively, the Lititz, Pa. native contributed to the 1-0 shutout over the Hoosiers and helped in allowing just five shots on goal last week from the opposition.  This is the second weekly honor for Laytos this season and the third of her career.
