On Monday, the American Athletic Conference announced their weekly awards for women’s soccer and UConn Huskies freshman forward Kess Elmore was named the rookie of the week for her three-goal performance.
On Thursday against Arkansas, Elmore scored the game-winning, overtime goal in the 98th minute in a 2-1 victory for the Huskies.
On Sunday, Elmore scored twice more against Fordham as part of a 2-2 draw. Her goal exactly 50 minutes into the contest drew first blood and her second tally 12 minutes later put the Huskies up 2-1.
Elmore has now scored five goals in her last three matches.
