Honor is first in her career
FORT WORTH – TCU women's soccer junior Brandi Peterson was named the United Soccer Coaches Association Player of the Week and the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week for her performance at No. 4 Oklahoma State last week. The honors are the first of her career. It's the second national award for TCU this season as well as the third Big 12 accolade.
Peterson, who has played every minute this season, helped the Horned Frog defense deflect 18 shots at No. 4 Oklahoma State. She scored her first career goal just 30 seconds into overtime to give TCU its first-ever win over a top-five ranked team.
She joins Marz Akins (Freshman of the Week, Sept. 14) and Emily Alvarado (Goalkeeper of the Week, Sept. 22) as TCU's honorees this season. Alvarado was also named the National Player of the Week on Sept. 22.
The Horned Frogs return home to face Texas Tech on Friday, Oct. 16. Match time is set for 7 p.m. and will be televised on Big 12 Now on ESPN+.
