Laura Atkinson brought veteran-size impact to Western Illinois with elite goalkeeping instincts
In the 2010 season, Laura Atkinson was a defensive difference-maker for Western Illinois, finishing 28th nationally in save percentage (.852) and helping set a program record with seven shutouts; she also earned first-team All-Summit League and All-Tournament honors. Her calling card was reliability under pressure, with strong shot-stopping, command in big moments, and the kind of calm, competitive edge coaches love. If you value a keeper who can stabilize a back line and win tight games, she looks like a fit.
