Women's Soccer's Simien Named SCAC Offensive Player of the Week

SEGUIN, Texas -- Following a weekend that saw her score five goals in match-ups against Dallas and Austin College, Texas Lutheran women's soccer sophomore midfielder Alyssa Simien (San Antonio/Warren) has been rewarded for her efforts with a selection as the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference's (SCAC) Offensive Player of the Week for Oct. 24.

For Simien, this marks her second career nod as the league's offensive player of the week in her impressive first season as a Bulldog. The San Antonio, Texas, native, was previously tabbed as the SCAC Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 26, 2022.

Simien helped power the Bulldogs to a 2-0 weekend against Dallas and Austin College by scoring five goals for 10 total points on 10 shots (six on goal).

Last Friday, during the Bulldogs 3-1 win over Dallas, she scored goals at the 76:03 and 86:09 mark to net a game-winner and help the Bulldogs outlast the Crusaders on the road.

On Sunday, during the 4-0 rout of Austin College, she scored goals at 1:12, 13:17, and 88:26 to complete her first career hat trick and the 26th all-time hat trick in Texas Lutheran program history.

With 14 goals on the season, Simien now matches TLU Hall of Famer Casey Rheman for most goals by a first-year player in TLU Women's Soccer history. Simien now has five game-winners on the season - ranking second in the SCAC and third most in a single-season in program history.

Texas Lutheran will now prepare to visit Schreiner University for a 2 PM match on Friday, Oct. 28, at Mountaineer Soccer Field in Kerrville, Texas. All streaming and live stats links can be found on tlubulldogs.com.
