Herluf, an Odder, Denmark-native, continues his strong season with his third-straight and fourth overall GLVC Defensive Player of the Week honor behind two shutouts on the road. The goalkeeper collected four saves while facing 12 shots over the weekend, not allowing any scoring at Quincy nor No.14 Illinois Springfield.
