University of Wisconsin-Parkside junior forward Shannon Becker (DePere, Wis./DePere) is the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Soccer Player of the Week. Becker tallied nine points in a pair of conference victories last week for the Rangers.
In Friday’s 5-1 win over Missouri-St. Louis, Becker posted a goal and an assist. She tallied the first goal of the match in just the third minute of the contest unassisted. Becker would later add an assist on Kristen Benson’s goal in the 22nd minute.
Becker returned on Sunday to notch a pair of goals and two assists in the Rangers’ 5-0 win over Maryville. She assisted on the first two goals of the match including Benson’s game-winner in the fifth minute and Lauki’i Cheng’s tally in the 32nd minute. Becker would post insurance goals in the 57th and 80th minute, helping the Rangers move to 3-0 in conference play.
On the week, Becker scored three goals on eight shots on goal. She finished the two matches with 12 shots in all and the two assists.
She currently leads UW-Parkside and the GLVC with 13 points and also has a league-best five goals and 22 shots. Becker has four assists in four matches as well.
