  • Lena Silano led the Beach to a perfect six-point week and sole possession of the top spot in the table with a 2-1 home triumph over Cal State Fullerton on Thursday and a 2-0 victory at Hawai’i on Sunday night.
  • A product of Agoura Hills, Silano totaled five points from two goals and an assist. Against the Titans, Silano helped set up the 11th-minute opener before tallying the 34th-minute game-winner from the penalty spot. The LBSU forward then notched Sunday’s clincher in the 31st minute.
  • Silano paces The Big West in both goals and total points with nine and 21, respectively. Over the weekend, the fifth-year senior became just the eighth Beach player to reach 20 goals for her career.
  • Of Silano’s eight shots over the past two matches, with four in each, four were on target. Silano played all 90 minutes against Cal State Fullerton and 71 in the UH contest.
  • This is Silano’s league-best second Big West Offensive Player of the Week distinction this season, and third of her career, having previously been named on Sept. 5, and on Oct. 4, 2021.
