Williams wins athlete of the week in her first career weekend in WPSL, scoring one goal
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - South Dakota State's Annie Williams named Women's Premier Soccer League Player of the Week for the North Conference (Central Region) on Thursday afternoon.
Â
The Jackrabbit senior scored one of the two goals for her team, Fire SC 98 (Minneapolis, Minn.), in the season-opening weekend draw against the Milwaukee Torrent in Seafoam Stadium at Concordia University.
Â
The upper-90 laser helped her team take a lead 2-1 in the second half before Milwaukee scored again.
Â
The Cottage Grove, Minn. native, played 82 minutes in the match on Saturday after playing a full 90-minute match on Friday, helping her first-year expansion team take 3-1 victory over the Dakota Fusion last week.
In the match against the Dakota Fusion, she narrowly missed the net with a distant free kick.
Â
In her first season - first two matches - in the WPSL, she was one of seven athletes who gathered the weekly accolade.
Â
"It's a great honor for Annie to be one of seven athletes named athlete of the week in the WPSL because it is such a premier league." said SDSU head coach Brock Thompson.
Â
As a Jack, Williams has scored three career goals, all coming from the 2017 campaign, and averaged 82 minutes over the 19 matches last season.
Â
Up Next for Williams
Her team will resume competition on Friday, June 8 when they take on Chicago City SC at DePaul University Wish Field at 4 p.m. and rematch Milwaukee Torrent on Sunday, June 10 in Wauwatosa, Wis. at 5 p.m.
