WACO, Texas – The Louisiana Christian University women's soccer program is potentially just one win away from its second NAIA Tournament bid in team history and it could not have made it there without
Emma Monnet's heroics in the Conference Quarterfinals with her dazzling outing won her the RRAC Offensive Player of the Week award.
Â
Monnet, a senior forward / midfielder from Yzeure, Allier, France, shined brightest on the biggest stage of the season, scoring the first (48th minute) and third (79th minute) goals of the day while assisting
Zoi Arkirvaki on the game-winner at the 55:19 benchmark for five massive points as she played a pivotal role in all three of the Cats' scores.
Â
Her multi-goal outing was the 11th of her illustrious career and the third of 2024. She leapt from sixth to fourth on the club's single-season points leaderboard against the Saints alone as she is now sporting 29 for the campaign in addition to jumping a spot up to fourth for goals with a dozen and the fifth assist of the year places her in tenth.
Â
The 5-foot-2 French striker who holds nearly every offensive record in school history has now been crowned offensive player of the week once in each of the past three seasons: August 30, 2022, September 18, 2023, and November 11, 2024.
Â
A rematch of the regular season finale is on tap in the RRAC Semifinals on Tuesday at 1 p.m. as #2 seed LCU stares down #3 seed and receiving votes Xavier for a spot in the championship.
