Big 12 Weekly Soccer Awards Announced

Cyera Hintzen (Texas), Jennifer Wandt (Baylor), Giuliana Cunningham (Baylor) and Grace Yochum (Oklahoma State) received Big 12 weekly honors for week five.

Hintzen was named Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season, after scoring her ninth career match-winning goal and totaling five points against Northern Colorado (two goals, one assist).

Wandt earned Defensive Player of the Week after extending her home shutout streak to 360:00 minutes. The sophomore goalkeeper has helped the Bears stay perfect at home thus far this season.

Cunningham and Yochum received Co-Freshman of the Week. Cunningham totaled four points after scoring game-winning goals in both games this weekend against then-ranked No. 23 Butler and UTRGV. Yochum also scored two game-winning goals against Creighton and UMKC and tallied three shots on goal in 139 minutes of action.

This is the first career honor for Cunningham and Yochum, the second career honor for Wandt and the fifth career Offensive Player of the Week honor for Hintzen. This is also the second time since 2015 that Baylor has had three different Freshman of the Week players in the same season.
