Porter shined for EMU's Homecoming, as his 10 receptions were the most by any Eastern Michigan player since 2015. His 93 yards marked a game-high and included a crucial 32-yard catch, which ultimately set Paulie Fricano up for a game-tying field goal in the third quarter. With this career game, Porter now sits second on the team in total receptions (33), yards (396), touchdowns (3), and average yards per game (56.57) this season.

Week's Achievements: Junior goalkeeper Kaylin Williams (Kansas City, Mo.-Winnetonka) was pivotal in between the posts as the Eastern Michigan University soccer team kept its postseason hopes alive. Williams totaled 12 saves, while facing 36 shots, en route to a pair of shutout victories. The Kansas City, Mo. native kicked off week five of conference play with one of the best outings of her career against in-state rival Western Michigan, Oct. 19. Facing a career-high 29 shots by a high-powered WMU offense, Williams tied a career-high with 10 saves to secure a 3-nil win and the ninth shutout of her career. She replicated the success Sunday, Oct. 22, against Northern Illinois, cutting off a number of scoring chances for the Huskies, while adding two saves. Turning in back-to-back shutouts for the third time in her career and second time this season, Williams became one of four Eagles to accomplish the feat three-or-more times in their career. Additionally, she moved up to sixth all-time in saves. She also became the first Eagle to register 10 clean sheets in their career since Megan McCabe did so in 2014. For the season, Williams has set career-highs in wins (7), shots faced (267), and saves (89).
