MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The SSAC announced the 2025 SSAC Women's Soccer Players of the Week, presented by WinWon.
Millie Rayner of UT Southern was named SSAC Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week, while Chantelle Thomson of Thomas claimed Defensive Player of the Week honors. The awards are for the week of Oct. 13–19.
Rayner Explodes for Record Offensive Performance
Freshman forward Millie Rayner (High Halstow, England) earned her first-career weekly honor after a historic outing for the Firehawks. Rayner netted eight goals and added one assist in UT Southern's 22-0 victory over Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
Her eight-goal performance marks the second-most goals in a single game in SSAC history and stands as the most ever scored against a conference opponent. The offensive outburst powered the Firehawks to match their first meeting result with the Fillies last season.
