Tulsa women's soccer player Megan Nielsen was named the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week, as announced today by the league office.

A junior forward from Oklahoma City, Okla., Nielsen scored two goals, including the game winner, to give the Tulsa women's soccer team a 4-1 win over Temple. This was Tulsa's first conference road win since topping UConn 3-0 in the 2018 season. Nielsen's goals came in the 23rd and 25th minutes, helping TU take a 3-1 advantage into halftime. Nielsen had a team-best four shots in 84 minutes of play.

This was the first weekly accolade for the Tulsa women's soccer program this season.
