RENO, NEV. – The honors keep piling up for freshman Emily Rich, as she has been named the Wolf Pack Student-Athlete of the Week.  

In the matchup against the Lobos, the freshman had one shot for a goal. This goal not only helping the Pack finish the tie against the Lobos, but would also be Rich’s third goal of the season. Her first two goals came in the Pack’s first conference win against the Air Force Falcons. This tie against the Lobos was the first time the Pack has either tied or beaten the Lobos since 2006.

On Sunday, down two goals to the Aztecs in the second half, the Pack would come back to win that matchup 3-2. Rich, while not taking any shots, would earn two assists out of the three goals scored in the Pack’s victory. One of those assists being the game winner. This win against the Aztecs would be the first in school history. 

Currently on the year, Rich has three assists, three goals, and nine shots on the year. Her and the Nevada soccer team will look to keep up their momentum and head on the road to take on the Colorado State Rams and Wyoming Cowgirls.
