FAIRMONT, W.Va. – Point Park's Maya Figueroa was named this week's Mountain East Conference Offensive Player of the Week for women's soccer, the league announced on Monday.
The MEC Player of the Week awards are presented by The Health Plan. Glenville State's goalkeeper, Lucia Lopez, was voted the MEC Defensive Player of the Week.
Figueroa, a senior from Las Cruces, New Mexico, scored two game-winning goals for Point Park last week. On Wednesday against West Virginia Wesleyan, Figueroa scored in the 19th minute as Point Park went on to win 2-0 at home. Figueroa would then score the only goal of the contest against Charleston on Sunday afternoon in the 65th minute.
Point Park returns to action on Wednesday night at FNB Stadium against Fairmont State. The top two teams in the MEC North Division will square off at 7:30 p.m. with first place on the line.
