ROCK HILL, S.C. --- Tusculum University senior Brianna Garcia has been named the South Atlantic Conference Offensive Player of the Week in women's soccer for the week ending Sept. 4, the SAC office announced Tuesday.

Garcia, a forward from Acworth, Georgia, scored two second-half goals to help the Pioneers rally for a 3-2 victory over West Alabama Friday afternoon. Garcia scored in 51st and 53rd minutes to erase a 2-1 halftime deficit, after assisting on a goal by Taylor Youmans just 1:58 into the match.

Garcia is tied for second in the SAC in both goals (four) and points (10) through three matches, and has scored a goal in each of the Pioneers' three contests. Tusculum is off to a 3-0-0 start for the first time since 2004.

The Pioneers will attempt to open the season with four consecutive wins for the first time since 2001 when they host Lenoir-Rhyne in their SAC opener on Saturday, Sept. 10 at 5 p.m. at Pioneer Field.
