Pacific forward Carmen Padilla (San Jose, CA/Archbishop Mitty HS) was named Big West Women’s Soccer Player of the Week after being involved in nearly all of the Tiger scoring in a 4-2 victory over San Jose State on Sunday.
Padilla registered two goals and one assist while firing off four shots in the Tiger victory, which kept the team’s unbeaten streak at six games. She accounted for the game-winning goal in the 44th minute, putting Pacific up 3-1 with a goal from the top of the right side of the penalty box.
The sophomore also scored Pacific’s final goal of the afternoon in the 71st minute. It was her team-leading fifth tally of the season. Padilla’s assist came on the Tigers’ first goal when she fended off two Spartan defenders and delivered a well-placed ball to teammate Montez Harrison.
Padilla ranks second in the Big West in points (14), third in goals (5) and is tied for first with four assists.
