Freshman midfielder Jessie Fleming of the UCLA women's soccer team was voted the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for Sept. 19-25 and was also honored as the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season. 

Fleming scored two goals in the Bruins' 2-0 victory over Arizona State on Sept. 22, adding to her Pac-12-leading goal total of seven in just six games. Fleming's goals came in the first eight minutes of the game and came three minutes apart. The first was a tap-in from eight yards out in the sixth minute, and the second was a long-distance golazo into the upper left corner in the ninth minute.

This is Fleming's third UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week honor of the season and of her career.

The UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week is chosen by fans on Twitter via @UCLAAthletics. This week, Fleming beat out women's volleyball player Reily Buechler, who had a match-best 21 kills along with nine digs in the Bruins' win over USC, and men's water polo goalkeeper Garrett Danner, who had 36 saves in three games to lead UCLA to the Mountain Pacific Invitational Championship.

In addition to her Player of the Week awards, Fleming was named to the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Week.
