Athletes of the Week:
Offense:
Alex Doran | Trinity | SO | Boerne, TX – Doran led the Trinity women's soccer team to a pair of home wins over the weekend, defeating Hardin-Simmons University (TX) 2-1 on Friday, and finishing with a 4-1 win over McMurry University (TX) on Sunday evening. Doran scored three goals and an assist across the two games and leads the team in scoring this season. After Trinity fell behind early against HSU, Doran provided the equalizer in the 62nd minute, then assisted on the game-winning score just over three minutes later. Against McMurry, she began the play that eventually led to the first goal of the day, then scored the eventual game-winner less than a minute into the second half. Doran then put the Tigers up 4-0 with her second goal of the game in the 64th minute of play.
 
 
Defense:
Grace Culver | Rhodes | SR | Eldersburg, MD – Senior midfielder Grace Culver showcased her two-way impact this week, covering a tremendous amount of ground and disrupting opposing attacks in the midfield. Her defensive presence limited opponents to just one goal across two matches, while she also contributed offensively to Rhodes’ back-to-back wins. Culver tallied an assist in the 2-0 victory at Belhaven and followed it up with a goal in the 2-1 win over Hendrix, finishing the weekend with three points. Playing nearly every minute, Culver’s ability to control the midfield, create scoring chances, and anchor the defensive shape made her an invaluable part of the Lynx success.
