Amy Anderson earned the women's athlete of the week honors after recording two goals and an assist in the Patriots 6-0 season-opening win over Rio Grande. Less than two minutes into the first half Alba Lorca sent the ball forward to Anderson, who fired the shot just inside the near post to give UC a 1-0 lead.  Anderson followed that up by assisting a goal to Emily Willoughby in the eighth minute to extend the lead to 2-0. The Cincinnati, OH native capped off her debut with a goal late in the first half.  Anderson becomes the first freshman since at least 2007 to tally five points in a season-opener and her performance aided UC in recording their first season-opening shutout since 2003.
