• UC Santa Barbara senior Shaelan Murison collected her third career Big West Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week award after notching her second multi-goal match of the season.

• The forward booted both Gaucho goals in Thursday’s 2-1 victory at UC Davis. Her ninth and 10th goals of the season ranks her No. 1 in the Big West.

• Murison buried a highlight reel free kick from 25-yards out that bended into the upper right hand corner of the goal in the 14th minute to give UCSB a 1-0 lead.

• With the score knotted at 1-1, Murison recorded her second game-winning goal of the year at the 83:22 mark when she recovered the ball off of a failed clearing attempt by the Aggies and knocked it past the goalkeeper.

• In helping UCSB win its third straight game, Murison amassed her fifth career multi-goal game.

• Cal State Fullerton freshman Megan Day earned her first Big West Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week award after helping her team to a 2-0 record in conference play.

• Day, the Titan center back, anchored a stingy defensive effort as her squad yielded just one goal in a pair of victories – 2-1 at Long Beach State and 1-0 at UC Riverside.

• She helped hold the Highlanders to just two shots for the entire match and scored the game-winning goal in the 50th minute. Her first shot attempt hit the crossbar but she gathered the rebound and deposited a shot past the keeper.

• It was Day’s second goal of the year and her first game-winner.

• Behind Day’s all-around effort, the Titans improved to 3-0 in Big West play for the first time since 2013. CSF also was the conference’s first squad to reach 10 wins this season.
