DAVIDSON, N.C. –– For the second week in a row, the Davidson women's soccer team earned the Southern Conference Player of the Week as sophomore Lauren Conner (Mechanicsburg, Pa.) was given the honor today after tallying two game-winning goals for the week of Sept. 25-Oct. 2. Fellow sophomore Kyri Bye-Nagel (Hanau, Germany) garnered the award for the week of Sept. 18-25.
Conner helped the Wildcats open up SoCon play 2-0 for the third time in the past four years with a thrilling 2-1 double-overtime win against Appalachian State on Thursday, before finishing off the week with a 5-0 victory over The Citadel on Sunday.
The sophomore had a hand in each of the two wins. On Thursday night with the scored 1-1 in the second overtime, Bye-Nagel drove down the left side and sent a cross from the far side of the field that was blocked in the 18-yard box. Junior Tiffany Mumby (Houston, Texas) then controlled the loose ball, took one touch and sent a left-footed cross to the six-yard box to Conner, who slipped the ball in for the game-winner in the 107th minute.
It was the sophomore's second thrilling overtime goal of the season after scoring the game-winner against High Point (1-0) on Sept. 2.
The midfielder then scored the initial goal in Davidson's 5-0 win at The Citadel on Sunday afternoon for the Wildcats' seventh straight win over the Bulldogs. The score was her team-leading fifth goal of the season to go along with a team-best 11 points.
With her third and fourth game-winners last week, Conner became the SoCon leader.
She has also been a big part of Davidson's latest offensive outburst. Since scoring just two goals in their first four contests, the Wildcats have found the back of the net 15 times in the past five games. In those five games, Conner has four goals and an assist. Currently, she has scored in three straight contests, while picking up at least a point in five straight.
Davidson will take its five-game winning streak on the road when it heads to Greenville, S.C., for a matchup of the top-two teams in the SoCon standings. The Wildcats will play Furman on Thursday at 7 p.m., looking to rebound from a 2-1 defeat to the Paladins last year at Alumni Stadium.
