Senior Sarah Weber earned Big Ten Offensive Player-of-the-Week recognition, announced by the conference on Tuesday.
The Gretna, Neb., native scored three goals in Nebraska’s 3-2 win over Colorado State on Sunday afternoon for the 35th hat trick in program history.
This season, Weber leads the Huskers with three goals, good for the most by an individual in the Big Ten. She has six points (two points for a goal, one point for an assist) this season, which also leads the conference. In the first two matches of the season, Weber’s taken a team-high 16 shots.
Michigan’s Justina Gaynor was the Defensive Player of the Week, while Molly Pritchard (Ohio State) was the Goalkeeper of the Week and Minnesota’s Caroline Birdsell was the top freshman.
Up next, the sixth-ranked Huskers continue their five-game homestand on Thursday, Aug. 22 at 7:05 p.m. (CT). Action will be streamed on Big Ten Plus.
