FRISCO, Texas – Southeastern Louisiana's Mya Guillory, UIW's Sophie Krall and Northwestern State's Acelya Aydogmus are the Southland women's soccer players of the week, the league announced Tuesday. Weekly awards are presented by Hercules Tires.

Earning Defensive Player of the Week accolades, Krall scored her first collegiate goal and helped stifle Houston Baptist's attack in the Cardinals' 4-0 win over the Huskies on Friday. UIW (2-1, 1-0 SLC) continues a four-match homestand against McNeese at 5 p.m. Friday and versus Lamar at 1 p.m. Sunday.
 
Defensive Player of the Week: Sophie Krall, UIW – Freshman – Sassenberg, Germany
Generating as many shots as the entire HBU team (2), Krall played a vital role on both sides of the ball for the Cardinals by scoring her first collegiate goal on two attempts and limiting the Huskies to two shots and none on goal. She sparked a three-goal run over an 11-minute span in the second half with a score at the 47:00 mark.  
 
Honorable Mention: Jamie Jezierski, Stephen F. Austin; Samantha Palomino, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi; Alexis Weaver, Northwestern State.
