Freshman forward Mia Fishel of the UCLA women's soccer team has been named the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for Nov. 18-24.
Fishel scored three goals, including both game-winners, in UCLA's NCAA Tournament victories this weekend. The Bruins defeated Clemson by a 5-0 count in the second round and Wisconsin 2-0 in the third round to advance to the quarterfinals for the third consecutive year. Against Clemson, Fishel got the ball rolling with a goal just 4:29 into the game and then added a second goal at 74:25 to record her third multiple-goal game of the season. In the win over No. 3 seed Wisconsin, Fishel broke a scoreless tie at halftime with an unassisted goal in the 49th minute. The freshman leads the team in goals scored with 12 and leads all freshmen in the nation with six game-winning goals.
This is Fishel's second UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week award of the season and of her career.
