ROCK HILL, S.C. – Leading Anderson University women's soccer to a perfect 2-0 start, senior Alaina Gay has been named AstroTurf South Atlantic Conference Player of the Week for matches played Sept. 1-7, announced by the conference office on Tuesday.
Gay shined for the Trojans last week, scoring twice and adding an assistant in a 4-0 shutout over Erskine on Thursday, followed by a one-goal and one-assistant performance in a 5-0 rout of Southern Wesleyan on Saturday.
