WACO, Texas – The Louisiana Christian University women's soccer program has been honored by the Red River Athletic Conference for the second straight week as Maria Alonso secured her first RRAC Offensive Player of the Week award following her 40th career match.
 
Alonso, a senior midfielder from Boadilla del Monte, Madrid, Spain, led the Wildcats with four points and two goals including the game-winner at Our Lady of the Lake on Saturday in addition to logging a career-high four shots-on-goal against the Saints.
 
She made a bunch of moves up the record books over the past week in San Antonio, breaking a tie with Laura Magleau (2021-22) and Martina Terra Garcia (Fall 2021) for the most penalty kick goals in school history after adding her third career PK to the tally at Texas A&M-San Antonio Thursday afternoon, which in turn made her the tenth women's soccer student-athlete to log double-digit goals for her tenure and just the second Wildcat with multiple PKs in a single-season.
 
The 11th goal of her career vs. OLLU tied her with Jayme Harmon (2013-15) for eighth on the all-time leaderboard along with adding her name to the top-ten list for total shots (71), rising to ninth on the SOG ladder (36) and third regarding go-ahead scores (3) in addition to becoming one of only a dozen women to notch multiple game-winners in one year.
 
Alonso and friends have sealed home-field advantage in the RRAC Quarterfinal round with their sights still set on an outside chance of an outright regular season championship, which would require wins at North American on Thursday (1 p.m.) and (RV) Xavier on Saturday (noon) as well as one of either Texas College or Jarvis Christian upsetting LSU Shreveport.
