Marlborough earns Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honor

By Staff Report

Morgan Marlborough added another achievement to her growing list of accolades.

After scoring three goals on just five shots this past weekend, Marlborough was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week. The award is Marlborough’s fourth conference award in her career, and the third time this year that an NU player has won a Big 12 weekly award.

Marlborough took the award after giving her team a victory Friday against Texas. Trailing 1-0, the sophomore forward netted two goals in under three minutes to give her team the win. She followed that up by scoring the only goal in the team’s 2-1 loss at the hands of No. 6 Texas A&’M.

So far this year, the Lee’s Summit, Mo., native leads the Big 12 in scoring, while ranking third nationally with ten goals.

Add that to her 21 goals last season, and Marlborough ranks seventh all-time for NU in just her second season with the Huskers.

She will look to continue her success this weekend as Nebraska travels to Baylor and Texas Tech for a pair of crucial conference contests.
