SWOSU Soccer’s Braelee Epp Named GAC Offensive Player of the Week

by

Braelee Epp of SWOSU Soccer has secured her second Offensive Player of the Week honor of the season for Week Nine, announced by the league office Tuesday afternoon. The latest accolade marks her second win of the award in the span of three weeks, cementing her role as a primary engine for the Bulldog offense.

Bulldogs Collect Seventh Weekly League Honor

Through nine weeks of play, the Bulldogs have accumulated seven weekly league honors, with Epp responsible for two of the program's four Offensive Player of the Week selections this season.

Match-Winner Defeats Tiger Goalkeeper

During SWOSU’s conference matches last week against Harding and Ouachita Baptist, Epp recorded two shots on goal. She delivered the lone goal of the week for the Bulldogs during the matchup against Ouachita Baptist, sending a shot over the outstretched arms of the Tiger goalkeeper to find the back of the net.

Shared League Lead in Goals and Points

That production reflects a broader statistical dominance on the season. Epp currently shares the league lead in goals with teammate Kinsey Geasland, as both players have netted eight goals apiece. The pair also sits tied atop the conference points leaderboard with 18 points each.

Clutch Production Powers Russellville Attack

In addition to her goal-scoring output, Epp has recorded four game-winning goals on the year, tying her for the conference lead.

The individual performances have fueled a collective offensive surge in Russellville. SWOSU is averaging nearly 0.4 more goals per game than any other team in the GAC.
