RUSTON – After setting Louisiana Tech and Conference USA records on Sunday, junior Amber Posthauer was chosen as the C-USA Offensive Player of the Week for week one of the 2019 season.
 
The midfielder struck for six goals and two assists in the 15-0 victory over Alcorn State.  The six goals set a LA Tech and C-USA single-game record as did the 14 total points. 
 
Posthauer netted four of her six goals in the first period, the first one coming in the 14th minute on a 1v1 with the opposing keeper.  The second goal was a result of a shot from 25 yards out while the other two came on converted penalty kicks.  
 
That tied the program record which was set by Taylor Dennis back in 2014.  The goal that broke the program record came early in the second period with a left-footed curl goal.  The sixth and final goal that broke the C-USA record which was set in 2009 was produced in the 72nd minute on a one-touch finish from the left. 
 
This marks the first ever Player of the Week honor for Posthauer. 
 
LA Tech is back in action today as they face off against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.  Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. at the Pumphrey Soccer Complex.
