Sep 15, 2025 | Women's Soccer
IRVING, Texas – Memphis women's soccer collected two more American Conference weekly awards on Monday afternoon, as Evelyn Mackay was named Defensive Player of the Week while Taliah Brooks garnered Freshman of the Week.
The 10th-ranked Tigers (7-0-1) opened conference play with a 1-0 victory over Charlotte on Thursday evening. They have won eight weekly honors now, the most in the conference through five weeks. Ellis Kelly has collected three Freshman of the Week honors, Finley Lavin has won Defensive Player of the Week twice and Ai Kitagawa took home Offensive Player of the Week last month.
Brooks played just 27 minutes against Charlotte but made the biggest contribution to the match, a game-winning goal in the 85th minute to secure a 1-0 start to conference play. The Jacksonville, Florida, native has appeared in every game and has tallied three goals and an assist.
Mackay put in another impressive shift for a Tiger defense that has gone 318 minutes without conceding a goal. After playing just 130 minutes during her freshman season, the Canadien has played a team-high 707 minutes out of a maximum 720.
Brooks, Mackay and the No. 10 Tigers will be back home this Thursday, September 18, to take on UAB at 7:00 p.m.
