Ally Cook Named Pac-12 Offensive Player of Week
August 28, 2023 | Women's Soccer
UCLA graduate forward Ally Cook has been selected the Pac-12 Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week after a two-goal, one-assist performance in a pair of Bruin victories.
Cook, who hails from Coto de Caza, Calif., earns her first career Pac-12 weekly award and UCLA's first of the 2023 season. In the Bruins' 2-1 win over Cal Poly on Thursday, Cook scored the game's first goal in the first half, sending in a header with her back to goal. In the 4-0 win at UC Irvine on Sunday night, she once again netted the first goal of the game on another header that proved to be the game-winning goal. After two weeks, Cook ranks second in the conference in goals (three) and points (seven).
The top-ranked Bruins (3-0) will play at BYU (4-0) on Thursday, Aug. 31 at 8pm MT/7pm PT.
Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week: Aug. 21 – Grayson Lynch, Washington State; Aug. 28 – Ally Cook, UCLA.
