KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Tennessee Southern sophomore, Millie Rayner lifted the Firehawks to a pair of Southern States Athletic Conference victories last week with nearly a dozen goals and 26 shots as the High Halstow, England, native earns PrestoSports-NAIA Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week honors.

The sophomore sparked the UT Southern attack multiple times across both matches last week kicking things off with a seven goal and three assist performance against Wesleyan (Ga.) as she put .70 percent of her total shots on frame (12-of-17). The goals didn’t stop there for Rayner as she continued to fuel the Firehawks offense two days later against Abraham Baldwin (Ga.) with four more goals.
