LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Little Rock sophomore forward
Maggie Turner has been named the Ohio Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week. Turner has scored three of the Trojans' eight goals so far this season.
The women's soccer team started its regular season this past week at East Texas A&M and then at in-state rival Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The Trojans were 1-1 this week, with Turner scoring her first goal of her Trojan career against East Texas A&M. She then followed it up with two more goals against UAPB on Sunday.
Turner's start this season is a stark contrast to last year, when injuries limited her to no goals and just two shots. In only two games this season, she has already scored three times and recorded four shots.
"Super excited for Maggie to get this recognition. She had a bit of a tough start to last season with some injuries, so I'm so happy to see her start off strong. I'm looking forward to Maggie's continued growth in the final third this season and hopefully a lot more goals," said head coach
Kelly Farrell.
The Trojans' next game will be at the University of Louisiana-Monroe on Aug. 27 at 6 p.m. Turner will look to continue her hot start to the year.
