Angel Hailey Wins NISL Women's Golden Glove Award

Second consecutive award for the Northwest alumnus

SOUTHAVEN - For the second year in a row, Angel Hailey has been selected as the Women's Golden Glove award winner National Indoor Soccer League.

Hailey's team, the Memphis Americans, made the announcement on Monday afternoon. Last season, she won the award formerly titled Goalkeeper of the Year. Earlier this month, the Americans won their second consecutive Women's Division Championship with a 10-3 overall record and a .769 winning percentage.

Hailey, a native of Southaven, played all 13 games this season for the Americans, collecting 125 saves in nearly 760 minutes played. She gave up 34 goals against 159 shots faced, earning a save percentage of .786.

Hailey played two seasons for the Lady Rangers and former coach Levi Nunnally from 2017-18, totaling 255 career saves and surpassing the program's previous record of 252, set by Ashley Nelson during the 2014-15 seasons. Hailey started 19 of 28 career matches in net, posting a 10-10-1 record with nine combined shutouts in 1,850 minutes of action.

Spending most of her freshman season as a reserve, Hailey still compiled 65 saves in 13 games with five starts. She also finished with a 7-1 record and helped Northwest to an 11-6 mark and the MACJC semifinals, before recording 190 saves as a sophomore, leading the conference and the NJCAA.

Hailey also finished with an .848 save percentage and 2.49 goals against average in nearly 1,230 minutes during her 2018 season. She was an NJCAA and MACJC All-Academic Team selection and three-time honoree on Northwest's Vice President's List.

Hailey signed with ULM for the 2019 season and spent one season at the Division I level, logging 641 minutes and collecting 35 saves against 16 goals. Her only winning decision came in a 1-0 victory against Southern Miss on Sept. 1, 2019, where she played a full 90 minutes and collected a season-high 11 saves.

From there, Hailey joined the University of Montevallo for the 2020-21 seasons. She played 503 minutes in six matches, recording a 2-2-1 record and 16 saves during a shortened spring 2021 season. She returned for five matches this fall, garnering 17 saves in 480 minutes for the Lady Falcons.

More recently, Hailey served as a volunteer assistant on Northwest coach James Beattie's staff for the 2022 season, helping the Lady Rangers to their first national tournament appearance. The Northwest coaching staff garnered two awards during the season, MACCC Women's Soccer Coaching Staff of the Year and United Soccer Coaches' Junior College Division II Mid-South Region Staff of the Year.
