FULLERTON, Calif. - Senior Maddie Bennett of the Cal State Fullerton women's soccer team secured her first Big West Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week award after scoring a pair of match-winning goals last weekend.
The forward tallied three goals on the week, including a brace which helped the Titans claw back from a 2-0 deficit to take a 3-2, double-overtime victory against Houston on Friday. Bennett tied the score on a header off a corner kick in the 83rd minute, then registered the match-winner with less than five minutes until full time as she won a 1v1 battle against the Cougar goalkeeper.
She also recorded the game-winning goal for the second straight match in Sunday's 2-0 shutout over Kansas State. On a corner kick from Kaya Hawkinson, Bennett's clever back-heel flick trickled over the line in the 74th minute.
GOALLLL!! Maddie Bennett with the backheel flick to give the Titans the lead!
