BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Amy McGivern of the University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team was tabbed as the adidas Ohio Valley Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Week. McGivern shares the weekly award with Dani Wilson of Morehead State.
A midfielder from Ballynahinch, Norther Ireland, McGivern was outstanding over the weekend as she netted a goal in the 3-1 victory over Murray State and in the 4-1 rout of Jacksonville State. She also tallied an assist in the match against Murray State. McGivern reeled off a total of six shots (four of which were on goal) in the pair of matchups. Her first goal of the weekend came in the 83rd minute against the Racers as she took a pass from Sara Ketis from the middle of the box for a close goal. The second McGivern goal came against the Gamecocks at the 25:08 mark as she received a pass from Bella Roberts from the top of the box to connect for the game-winner. McGivern's assist was a pass to Skylor Keane as she sent the ball from the front right side for an uncontested goal.
This marks the third time in her career that McGivern has garnered the weekly award and the first since Sept. 5, 2017.
UT Martin travels to Belmont on Friday, Oct. 12 for a 4 p.m. kickoff against the Bruins to wrap up the regular-season road slate.
