BIRMINGHAM – UAB women's soccer collected four American Conference weekly awards on Monday. Lailah Stewart won Offensive Player of the Week, Abby Graeser collected Defensive Player of the Week, Avery Berryman earned Midfielder of the Week and Macie Murphy earned honorable mention.
Stewart played a major role in the 3-0 shutout against North Texas last Thursday. The senior forward recorded a brace when she scored in the 58th minute and the 64th minute. Stewart led the team with six shots and three shots on goal. She has now scored 20 career goals and four goals this season.
Graeser held the backline strong to secure the shutout and only allowed the Mean Green to have five shots on goal despite holding a 53-47 possession advantage.
Berryman scored the Blazers first goal of the night and assisted both of Stewart's goals against North Texas. The senior forward found the back of the net in the 52nd minute, which was assisted by Morgan Goehring. She then found Stewart in the 58th minute to put UAB up 2-0 and then set up another a few minutes later, assisting Stewart on a goal in the 64thminute to triple the lead.
