Clemson Goalie, Halle Mackiewicz, named ACC DPOTW

Halle Mackiewicz named ACC Defensive Player of the Week.

The ACC announced on Tuesday Halle Mackiewicz has been named Defensive Player of the Week for the first time in her career.

This comes after she recorded a shutout against No. 7 Arkansas and helped lead the Tigers to a draw against Georgia.

The starting goalkeeper helped the No. 9 Tigers secure a 1-0 victory over the No. 7 Razorbacks, which marked the highest-ranked win at home since the Tigers beat No. 6 Notre Dame in 2022.

On the road, Mackiewicz and the Tigers earned a 1-1 draw over Georgia as Clemson was able to level the score in Athens in the 69’. Mackiewicz wrapped up the week with six saves and only one goal allowed.

Mackiewicz has had an impressive start to the 2023 season as the senior has picked up six clean sheets, which ties her for most in the NCAA alongside Samford’s Zoe Clevely.

Mackiewicz has tallied 16 total clean sheets in her career, the fourth most in Tiger history.
