KATARINA MAKSIMOV OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ST. THOMAS, a senior forward from Richmond, Texas, has been named the SCAC Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week for games played through Sunday, September 29th. 

Maksimov scored four goals over her last two matches to lead the Celts to a 2-0 weekend with wins over Dallas, and Austin College. Against Dallas, Maksimov scored twice, including the game-winner in the 42nd minute. 

Against Austin College on Sunday, Maksimov’s first goal in the sixth minute of play was the first of four goals in a five-minute span that saw the Celts take control of the match. Her second-half goal against the Kangaroos was her school-record 30th goal of her career. She also added two assists in the contest to bring her weekly total to 10 points on four goals and two assists. 

Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
Senior midfielder Migui Boldrin of Centenary scored four goals and had two assists in three games last week as the Ladies improved to school record 8-0 to open the season. Mariela Candelario of Texas Lutheran scored the eventual game-winning goal against Schreiner in a 3-0 Bulldog win Sunday in Kerrville. Candelario put home a shot in the 40th minute. She finished the match with three shots, and all three shots were on goal. Sophomore midfielder Kaity Ward of Trinity led the Tiger women’s soccer team to a 6-0 win over Southwestern in their only game last week. Ward picked up assists on each of Trinity’s first-half goals, then it was her shot-on goal that ended up as an own-goal for Southwestern and a 3-0 Tiger lead in the opening minutes of the second half.
