    King-Miller, a first-year from Winchester, Va., helped Shenandoah lock up the third seed in the ODAC Tournament by closing the regular season with his ninth clean sheet of the year. The Hornets won at Bridgewater, 1-0, to leap from fifth to third in the league standings. The shutout marked a program-record 10th of the season for SU. King-Miller came up with a pair of saves to preserve the slimmest of margins to secure the second-ever (2023) quarterfinal hosting opportunity for the Hornets' men's program. Although not a part of the criteria for this weekly award, King-Miller went on to make eight saves in a 2-1 win over sixth-seeded Batten University in Saturday's quarterfinal matchup. SU will now host a semifinal for the second time in program history. For the season, King-Miller leads the ODAC in clean sheets (9) and is second in saves (58). He is fourth in save percentage (.763) and fifth in goals against average (1.03).
