Sep 02, 2026 | Soccer
MANHATTAN, Kan. – K-State junior goalkeeper Maddie Sibbing has been named Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Week for her performance during week three of the 2026 season.
This was the third time Sibbing has earned the Big 12 weekly honor, as she was a two-time recipient in 2025. She is the first K-State goalkeeper to earn the weekly honor three or more times.
In addition to her Big 12 honor, Sibbing is a nominee for national player of the week and save of the week by the Intercollegiate Women's Soccer Organization for Coaches. Public voting for both of these honors concludes on Wednesday at 11:59 p.m.
Last Sunday, Sibbing maintained a clean sheet for the third straight match in a 0-0 draw over Nebraska.
The product of Lee's Summit, Missouri, registered a season-high six saves, including a penalty kick stop in the 67th minute. This was the third time a K-State goalkeeper saved a penalty kick and the first time since 2021 against Baylor. Five of Sibbing's six saves came in the second half.
Sibbing owns an active shutout streak of three straight matches and an overall duration of 356:10, which is the third-longest duration in terms of minutes in program history.
For the season, Sibbing leads the Big 12 with a goals against average of 0.20 and owns a record of 4-0-1. She has collected 13 saves with a save percentage of .929, which is second in the Big 12 and a league-leading three shutouts and one combined shutout. Her four wins this season are tied for second in program history for wins in a junior season and ranks tied for fourth in program history for wins in a season.
K-State (4-0-1) embarks on a three-match road trip to close out its 2026 non-conference schedule, beginning on Thursday, September 3, as the Wildcats visit Iowa (4-1-0) at 7 p.m.
Thursday's match will stream on Big Ten+.
