The Washington & Jefferson freshman goalkeeper led the Presidents to two conference victories, shutting out Bethany (W.Va.) and Waynesburg.
Watkins has three-straight shutouts and has not permitted a goal in the last 325:25 of action. She leads the conference with a .883 save percentage and is fourth in goals against average (0.92) with a record of 8-5-2.
The shutout victories enabled the Presidents to secure the second seed for the PAC tournament. W&J hosted Westminster in the semifinals Wednesday night.
