SEWARD, Neb. – A four goal takeover was more than enough for junior Kierstynn Garner to be selected as the GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week. The league office announced the award on Tuesday (Sept. 3). This was the first time to receive the honor this year and the fourth time in her career.
The Kearney, Neb., native bolstered the Bulldogs to a 4-2 win over Graceland, scoring all four tallies. Even more impressive, Garner did so with only four shots. With the third goal, Garner tied the most career game winning goals (13) matching Jessica Skerston (2014-16) for the program record. The Kearney High School alum has amassed 31 career goals in 40 games played. In 2023, the First Team All-GPAC selection posted a team high 19 goals and seven game winners as a sophomore.
Head Coach Nick Smith’s squad will return to the field on Wednesday night against Bellevue at Bulldog Stadium. The matchup will be Concordia Women’s soccer’s home opener for 2024.
