Bartel Named Defensive, Glover Named Offensive and Schroder Named Freshman of the Week

LARAMIE, Wyoming (11/9/26) – The University of Wyoming soccer team reeled in all three weekly Mountain West Conference honors. Haley Bartel earned Defensive Player of the Week, Alyssa Glover collected Offensive Player of the Week and Izzy Schroder was awarded Freshman of the Week.

All three aforementioned student-athletes played a large role in the Cowgirls defeating Hawai’i, 2-0, which punched their ticket to the Mountain West Tournament. Glover and Schroder provided the goals, and Bartel made it stand up with a clean sheet.

It was Bartel’s fourth such time this season winning Defensive Player of the Week and fifth of her career. Glover has two Offensive Player of the Week distinctions this year and seven in her career. This represents the firs time Schroder has been recognized.

Wyoming, the No. 2 seed opens Mountain West Tournament play in the semifinals against No. 3-seeded Hawai’i. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. on Wednesday.
