Tulsa men's soccer player Alex Meinhard was named the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week, as announced today by the league office.

Meinhard scored four goals in Tulsa's 5-0 win over Memphis on Friday night at the Hurricane Soccer and Track Stadium. Meinhard's goals came in the 19^th, 47^th, 49^th and 61^st minutes, including only one assisted goal and two penalty kick goals.

Meinhard earned the 16^th hat trick in school history and the first since Harris Partain had one against Oral Roberts in 2019. With his fourth goal he became the fourth player in school history to score four goals in a single game and first since Frank Velez hit that mark in 1991.

Meinhard had a team-best nine shots in 64 minutes of play.

This was Meinhard's second weekly accolade as he also picked up offensive honors on Oct. 4.
