CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – After an unbeaten road weekend, seniors
Maggie Murray and
Kennedy Stelling from the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi soccer program were named Southland Conference Offensive and Goalkeeper of the Week, respectively.
The duo helped the Islanders shutout Prairie View A&M 6-0 before coming back twice to tie Sam Houston 2-2. A&M-Corpus Christi has played five consecutive road matches.
"I'm very excited for these two seniors. All the hard work over the past three years is paying off with their best soccer being played and now recognized by the conference is amazing," said head coach
Craig Shaw.
Murray, from Cranford, New Jersey, registered six points on the weekend with two goals and two assists. She registered two goals and an assist against the Lady Panthers and fired five shots, including four on goal. Against Sam Houston, she assisted on a header by junior
Rachel Loetzer on a corner kick goal.
Murray is up to 13 goals and seven assists in her four-year career with the Islanders. She ranks third all-time in goals and is tied for first in assists in the school record book. Her 33 total points also puts her third in school history.
Stelling, a Rowlett, Texas native, made 10 saves on the weekend. She submitted her second clean sheet of the season after blanking PVAMU where she made four saves. Stelling followed it up with six stops against the Bearkats. She played all 180 minutes in net on the weekend.
Stelling's six career shutouts ranks third all-time in program history. Stelling is also third in the school record book in career saves with 130.
A&M-Corpus Christi will wrap-up a six-game road stretch Friday when it travels to Tarleton State for a 7 p.m start. The next home game is Thursday, Sept. 14 when the Islanders host UTRGV at 7 p.m. at Dugan Stadium.
