In 2007, William and Mary’s defense was one of the stoutest in school history, allowing an all-time program-low 11 goals, only 0.48 goals per game, which was also a school record. In total, the team pitched 13 shutout games, the second-most ever at the College. Individually, goalkeeper Meghan Walker accounted for 10 of those shutouts, tying the No. 2 all-time mark she had set the year before.
