Skolmoski Named Pac-12 Player of Week
Utah's Hailey Skolmoski was named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week on Aug. 30. The sophomore netted twice in the Ute wins over San Diego and then once more in the victory at Utah State this past weekend.
Â
This is the first weekly honor for Skolmoski and she became Utah's first Offensive Player of the Week in program history. This was Utah's 10th Pac-12 weekly honor since joining the conference.
Â
Skolmoski has scored four goals in five contests to pace the Pac-12. That total also marks the most by a Ute player since the 2013 season. .
Â
Facilitating Feet
Twenty-three players in the Pac-12 have multiple assists this season and Utah has four of them, more than any other team. Cabria Turang and newcomer Aleea Gwerder join Katie Rogers and Taylor Slattery, the two Utes with the most career assists on the current roster.
Â
Rogers, a three-time Pac-12 All-Academic selection, moved into a more defensive midfield role last season and started all but one contest for the Utes. Slattery had a double-digit point output as a freshman and gained a starting spot last season, with 13 contests up front.
Â
Turang has already graduated with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies with a minor in Disability Studies and Gwerder led Washington Premier to a U18 Rainier Challenge championship
Â
Freshmen Leading From the Back
Gwerder's emergence at outside back, along with the play of two other freshmen, Tavia Leachman and Natalee Wells has helped this team transformation.
Â
Leachman, a center back, led powerhouse Long Beach Poly to three-consecutive Moore League titles and has played all but five minutes this season. Wells was ranked as the no. 5 recruit in the state of Utah by MaxPreps and has moved back from a midfield role at the start of the season to serve as Leachman's partner in the middle.
Â
Junior Janie Kearl who started last season primarily in the midfield has complemented Gwerder on the other side. A former First Team All-State selection, she helped lead East HS to a pair of regional championships.
