Lenoir-Rhyne Sweeps South Atlantic Conference AstroTurf Women's Soccer Player of the Week Awards

ROCK HILL, S.C. (TheSAC.com) – The South Atlantic Conference announced its AstroTurf Women's Soccer Players of the Week for matches played between Sept. 16 and Sept. 22.  Lenoir-Rhyne midfielder Aqsa Mushtaq was named the offensive player of the week, while teammate and Bear goalkeeper Charlotte Warner was named defensive player of the week.

Mushtaq, a senior from Bradford, England, led the Bears to a 2-0 record last week, extending their winning streak to six matches and a perfect 6-0 record for the first time in program history. She scored two goals on the week for four points. She scored the game-winner in Lenoir-Rhyne's 1-0 win over Mars Hill and then added a goal in the 4-0 win over Tusculum. This is Mushtaq's first offensive player of the week award of the 2019 season.

Warner, a sophomore from Ontario, Canada, posted a pair of clean-sheet victories in the goal for the Bears last week. As a team, Lenoir-Rhyne held its opponents to just three shots on goal, all of which Warner saved last week. She picked up the 1-0 win against Mars Hill, and made three saves in the Bears' 4-0 victory over Tusculum. This is Warner's first defensive player of the week honor of the season.
