RUSTON – After tallying 12 points to help the Louisiana Tech soccer team post a perfect 4-0 mark during week two of action, Autumn Woodard was selected as the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week.
 
It marks the second straight week a Lady Techster has received this honor as Amber Posthauer earned it in week one.  It is the first ever Player of the Week honor for Woodard.
 
The sophomore transfer has certainly made her presence felt having only been in Ruston a month.  This past week, she registered five goals and two assists on 10 total shots (seven of those coming on goal).
 
The goal-seeking striker got the week started by netting a goal and an assist in a 3-0 victory at Arkansas-Pine Bluff.  The very next day in a 2-1 win at LSU-Alexandria, her one-touch finish from seven yards out got LA Tech on the scoreboard.
 
Then on Friday night at I-20 foe ULM, Woodard was involved in three of the team's five goals.  She scored twice and assisted on another in the 5-1 route of the Warhawks. 
 
And to wrap up the week, the Orange Park, Florida native notched the game-winning goal in the second half to help defeat Northwestern State, 3-1.
 
Woodard has now scored in five straight contests, setting a new program record.  The previous mark was four which had been done by four Lady Techsters. 
 
She currently leads the team in points (19) and goals (eight), a big reason why LA Tech has gotten off to a 6-0 start to the 2019 season.

LA Tech now looks forward to its first home match of the 2019 season which comes on Friday, Sept. 6 against McNeese State.  Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Ruston Junior High School.
