Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week
Courtney Marten, ULM
(Jr., Collinsville, Ill.)

Warhawks’ junior forward Courtney Marten charted the seventh hat trick in school history and finished with four goals on the week as ULM improved to 5-0-0 for the first time in program history. Impressively, Marten came off the bench in both matches. She totaled three goals in Friday’s 7-0 win against Alcorn, scoring in the 45th minute and then back-to-back in the 68th and 70th minutes. In Sunday’s 6-1 victory at Southern, Marten scored the final goal, coming in the 74th minute. She leads her team with five goals on the season.

Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week
Kerry Eagleston, App State
(Jr., Winston-Salem, N.C.)

Mountaineers’ junior goalkeeper Kerry Eagleston totaled 15 saves on the week to help her team to victories against Wofford and FIU. In a 1-0 win at FIU on Sunday, she logged 11 saves and notched her 10th career shutout, which puts her two away from tying for fourth all-time in program history. In Thursday’s 2-1 win at Wofford, she recorded three saves. Eagleston played all 90 minutes of both matches on the week. On the season, she ranks among the top-30 nationally in saves per game.
