Offensive Player of the Week

Una Einarsdottir, Louisiana
(#8, Sr, C - Gardur, Iceland)
 
Einarsdottir recorded the first three-point match of her career with a goal and assist in Louisiana's 2-0 win over ULM on Sunday. The victory was Louisiana's school-record sixth straight win (all by shutout). The senior captain broke a scoreless tie early in the second half setting up Lizzie Mayfield's game-winning goal in the 50th minute. She slid a ball behind ULM goalkeeper Hailey Hillock that Mayfield would place into the lower right corner of the net to give Louisiana a 1-0 lead. Einarsdottir scored her 11th career goal eight minutes later to put ULM up 2-0. That goal moved her into a ninth-place tie on the Ragin' Cajuns all-time list.
