Murray State forward Sophie Hargreaves has been named Ohio Valley Conference offensive player of the week for Oct. 4-10 after scoring the Racers' first hat trick in over three years in a 3-0 defeat of Tennessee Tech.
The junior from Leeds, England, scored her first two goals of the afternoon in a span of under three minutes, finding the left side of the net from up close just 11 minutes into the match before drilling her second goal of the day off a short pass on a free kick into the right side of the goal to give MSU a 2-0 lead. Her third and final tally came on a penalty kick as a result of a Tennessee Tech foul in the penalty area in the 70th minute.
The seventh career hat trick in Murray State history doubled Hargreaves' total goals on the season to six and gives her the team lead.
The Racers return to action Oct. 17 at UT-Martin before closing out the regular season with a home match against Southeast Missouri and road contest at Eastern Illinois.
