OKLAHOMA CITY -- After producing three goals, two assists and the game-winning goal in both victories, John Brown University senior forward Addie Craig was named the Sooner Athletic Offensive Player of the Week, presented by Digital Scoreboards, the league office announced Monday (Oct. 12).
Craig, who picked up her first-career weekly honor, totaled eight points while putting six of her nine shots on frame as No. 20 John Brown went 2-0 in conference play. She opened the week with a goal and two assists in Tuesday afternoon's (Oct. 6) 7-0 victory at Central Christian (Kan.), scoring the eventual game-winner in the 7th minute before setting up a pair of second-half goals.
The Highlands Ranch, Colo., native followed with a brace Saturday afternoon (Oct. 10) in a 4-0 road victory over Mid-America Christian (Okla.). Craig broke the scoreless tie in the 13th minute and struck again in the 22nd, finishing with four of her five attempts on target and collecting her second game-winner of the week.
The two victories moved John Brown to 9-1-2 overall and 5-0-0 in Sooner Athletic play while extending its unbeaten streak to 11 matches and its winning streak to five.
Craig's selection gives the Golden Eagles six SAC women's soccer weekly awards this season among five different players. She joins sophomore Andi Riley as an Offensive Player of the Week recipient, while freshman goalkeeper Ansley Fuchs has earned two defensive honors alongside junior Caitlin Hilson and junior Bella Mendieta. Craig and Fuchs also gave JBU its first sweep of the conference's weekly awards this season.
John Brown returns to Alumni Field Saturday afternoon (Oct. 17), welcoming Nelson (Texas) for a 4 p.m. conference matchup. The contest will be carried live on Urban Edge Network and the SAC Sports Network.
