MADISON, Wis.- Following UW-Oshkosh's shutout wins over Milwaukee School of Engineering and Benedictine University (Ill.) last week,
Jaden LeRoy (Evansville/Evansville) and
Olivia Bahr (Cedar Grove/Cedar Grove-Belgium) were named the WIAC Kwik Trip Women's Soccer Offense and Defense Players of the Week for the period of Sept. 6-13 on Tuesday (Sept. 15). The award was a first in both players' careers.
The sweep of the league's women's soccer athlete of the week awards is the first for the Titans since Molly Jackson and Mackenzie Bennett earned the awards for the period of Oct. 18-24, 2021. It is also just the Titans' fifth sweep since the WIAC began awarding separate offense and defense honors in the 1998 season. LeRoy also became the first offensive award winner for Oshkosh since
Gabby Born (Fond du Lac/Fond du Lac) was named the offense player of the week for Aug. 29-Sept. 4, 2022.
LeRoy scored five goals during the week, including a four-goal performance during the Titans' 6-0 victory at Benedictine on Sept. 12. She scored the first, second, fourth and fifth goals of the match in the second, ninth, 46th and 52nd minutes. LeRoy's haul was the second-most goals in a match in program history and Oshkosh's first four-goal effort since 2022. Her first goal of the week came in the Titans' 2-0 win over MSOE at home on Sept. 9.
Bahr started in and played 142 minutes in the Titans' pair of shutout victories during the week. She was on the pitch for all 90 minutes of the 2-0 home win over MSOE as UW-Oshkosh held the Raiders to five shots on goal, and played 52 minutes in the Titans' 6-0 road win over Benedictine. The Eagles were held to just two shots on goal.
