Mace, Micah Earn Pac-12 Weekly Awards
August 29, 2017 | Women's Soccer
Top-ranked UCLA earned two of the Pac-12's three weekly awards, as Hailie Mace was awarded Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week, and Teagan Micah received Goalkeeper of the Week acclaim.
Mace, who twice earned Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week honors last season, picked up her first offensive award after recording a hat trick in UCLA's 4-2 win over Santa Clara. Mace scored all three goals in the first half to record the 26th hat trick in UCLA women's soccer history and the first in her collegiate career. The junior from Ventura, Calif. leads the Bruins in scoring with 10 points and is tied for the team lead in goals scored with four.
Micah picks up her fourth career Goalkeeper of the Week honor after leading UCLA to another pair of victories, 4-2 over Santa Clara and 3-1 over previously undefeated UC Santa Barbara. The sophomore from Redcliffe, Australia, had three saves in the Santa Clara contest and now has 100 in her career.
UCLA has won Pac-12 weekly honors 66 times in the conference's history.
The Bruins will put their undefeated record on the line at BYU on Friday night, the first of three consecutive road matches.
