Fleming Repeats as Student-Athlete of Week
September 06, 2016 | Women's Soccer
For the second consecutive week, freshman Jessie Fleming of the UCLA women's soccer team was voted the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week.
Fleming scored the game-winning goal in the ninth minute of overtime to lead UCLA to a 1-0 victory over defending NCAA champion and 13th-ranked Penn State last Friday. The goal was her third in just two games since joining the Bruins after the Rio Olympics. Fleming leads the Pac-12 in points per game (3) and goals per game (1.5) and is tied for the team lead in goals scored with three.
This is Fleming's second 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 men's soccer player Jackson Yueill, who tied a school record with four assists in the Bruins' 6-1 win over No. 1 Akron, and volleyball player Jordan Anderson, who was named to the all-tournament team after recording 39 kills in three wins as UCLA won the Wahine Volleyball Classic.
