Cassie Cripe has been named the Women’s Soccer Athlete of the Week for the first time this season after the freshman forward helped guide the Arrows to an overtime win over the defending G-MAC Women Soccer Champions Trevecca Nazarene Trojans in the first round of this season’s Championship Tournament.

The Arrows, who fell behind the Trojans 2-1 with just over 21 minutes left in the game, tied the game with less than eight minutes to go on a goal by Amanda Levaskevich, assisted on by Cripe. As the game headed into overtime, the next goal would advance one team into the semifinals, and Cripe carried the team into the next round with her goal just 1:27 into overtime.

On the season, Cripe has eight goals and eight assists for 24 points, ranking third on the team in goals and points, and tied for second in assists, one behind team leader Anna Feitl. Cripe, who last week ranked 33rd in total assists and 57th in total points, could move up the rankings with her goal and assist this past week.

Currently she ranks fifth in the conference in points, sixth in goals, and is tied for fourth in assists as a freshman.
