RUSTON – For the third time this season and the second straight week, Louisiana Tech's Autumn Woodard earned Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week honors. 
 
The sophomore striker was at it again this past weekend, scoring both game-winning goals to sweep Florida Atlantic and FIU at home to help LA Tech earn six points in the conference standings.
 
With the two home victories, the Lady Techsters have won 11 straight at home (program record) and are also riding a 15-match unbeaten streak in conference home games.
 
On Friday, the Orange Park, Florida native struck in overtime for the golden goal to give LA Tech the 1-0 win over defending C-USA champion and top-20 RPI FAU.  She split the two center backs and ran down a long ball before finishing at the far post.  The Owls came in riding a six-match winning streak.
 
Then on Sunday with the score knotted up at 1-1 in the second half, Woodard raced down another long ball, dribbled into the box and sent a missile past the keeper for what would be her sixth game-winner of the season.
 
Over the weekend, she set two single-season program records – 15 goals and 34 points.  The 15 goals is the most of anyone in the country in Division I and is tied for the third most in C-USA history.  The 34 points ranks second in the nation and is tied for the sixth most in C-USA history.
 
Woodard has now scored in 11 of LA Tech's 13 matches this season, including all four league games.
 
She shared the week seven award with Julia Patrum of Charlotte.  It is the most Player of the Week honors won by a Lady Techster in a single season in program history (three others have won it twice).     
 
LA Tech returns to the pitch on Friday, Oct. 11 when they host UAB.  Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. on James Field at Hoss Garrett Stadium on the campus of Ruston High School.
