On Eagles’ Wings
Julie Eckel was named the SEC Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week right out of the shoot in the early part of the season for the Lady Vols of the University of Tennessee. Julie played 180 outstanding minutes in goal for Tennessee and went 2-0-0. She notched six saves against UCF and stood her ground on numerous one-on-one attempts, allowing Tennessee to come back with a pair of second-half scores to win the game. Then in the next game she recorded her first shutout of the season and the 18th of her illustrious Tennessee career. Her 18 saves ranks third in Tennessee history. The two wins pushed Julie’s career total to 32 and moved her in third place in UT history.
