Utah Valley’s Jenni Clough and Brooke Salcido have been dubbed the Great West Conference Women’s Soccer Players of the Week for their performance last week, the league office announced Tuesday.
Clough earns her first weekly honor and becomes the third Wolverine to collect offensive weekly honors. The senior collected three points in a 4-0 win over NJIT in the first match of the United Soccer Conferenc Tournament in Farmville, Virginia. A native of South Jordan, Utah, Clough also assisted the second goal and added an in¬surance goal to put UVU up 3-0 in the 37th minute. It was her sixth goal of the season and the 26th of her career at UVU, a school record.
Salcido captures her first weekly honor after leading a Wolverines defense that only surrendered four shots on goal in two games this week as Utah Valley went 1-1. The Las Vegas native played all 180 minutes on the field as UVU picked up a 4-0 blanking of NJIT after suffering a hard-fought 1-0 loss to Seattle University earlier in the week.
The 2008 Wolverines will go down as the winningest team in the school's six-year NCAA history. The team’s 11 wins on the season surpassed the school record by two. The team's 4-0 start was not only the best in school history, but was also part of the Wolverines' longest winning streak of seven dating back to the 2007 season. Utah Valley was also a perfect 5-0 in the conference regular season, outscoring its opponents 15-to-1.
