On Wednesday at Mars Hill, Frame assisted on the game-winning goal in the 90th minute of a 2-1 Carson-Newman victory. He then scored the game-winner – again in the 90th minute – on Saturday against conference-leader Queens, giving the Eagles a 2-1 win.

Whitman becomes the first defender to earn SAC Women's Soccer Player of the Week accolades this season after she assisted on a game-winner and scored another in Tusculum's victories over LMU and Coker.
Against LMU on Wednesday, Whitman assisted on the match's only goal in a 1-0 TC victory. She followed that by scoring the game-winner in the 55th minute of a 1-0 Pioneer win over Coker on Saturday.
Whitman's goal and assist last week were her first of each this season. She has helped lead a Tusculum defense that has allowed only six goals in conference play.
