ATHERTON, CA – Menlo College junior midfielder Jacky Vasquez Lopez made Menlo Athletics history this week, becoming the first Oak in any sport to earn a CCAA Athlete of the Week honor. Vasquez Lopez was named the FloCollege/CCAA Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week after helping Menlo Women's Soccer to back-to-back shutout victories last week.

Vasquez Lopez recorded five points across Menlo's 4-0 victory at Jessup and 3-0 win over San Francisco State, tallying one goal and three assists to help the Oaks extend their winning streak to three matches.

 

A Week to Remember

• 1 goal against Jessup

• 3 assists across two matches

• 5 points on the week

• First CCAA Athlete of the Week in Menlo history

• Leads the CCAA with five assists

 

History Made

Vasquez Lopez opened the week with an assist on Leilani Phillips' eventual game-winning goal just 95 seconds into Menlo's victory at Jessup before adding a goal of her own in the 17th minute. The Seaside, Calif., native followed that performance with two more assists in Friday's 3-0 victory over San Francisco State, helping the Oaks extend their winning streak to three matches.

With five assists on the season, Vasquez Lopez has climbed to No. 1 in the CCAA assist standings. Her seven total points are tied for third-most in the conference, as the junior has quickly established herself as a key piece of the Oaks' attack.

 

Up Next…

Menlo (3-1-1) now turns its attention to CCAA play, opening the conference schedule on the road Friday at Cal Poly Humboldt, the defending CCAA Tournament champions, before traveling to Chico State on Sunday.
