EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer redshirt sophomore forward Eva Boer was named the Ohio Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week on Tuesday.
Boer earned her first career weekly honor after scoring a goal and taking five shots with two on goal in USI’s two road matches last week at Robert Morris University and the University of Akron. Boer totaled 125 minutes played between the two contests.
Boer, who represented the Screaming Eagles on the OVC’s Preseason Players to Watch List, broke USI’s scoreless dry spell to start the season when she scored the first goal of the year in the 20th minute in Sunday’s game at Akron. Boer tallied four shots with two on target against the Zips.
The goal by Boer was the first of three netted in by the Eagles at Akron. Sunday’s game was also USI’s third straight outing with 14 or more shots.
On the season, Boer has started all four matches played. The forward has taken seven shots with a pair on frame.
Boer and the Screaming Eagles (0-4-0) will next return to Strassweg Field for the start of a three-match homestand on Thursday when USI hosts Eastern Michigan University at 1 p.m. The match can be seen with a subscription to ESPN+.
All three matches of the upcoming homestand feature free admission courtesy of ProRehab.
