DAHLONEGA -- No. 10 University of North Georgia (UNG) women's soccer senior forward
Kyleigh Drew has been voted as the Peach Belt Conference Player of the Week while senior goalkeeper
Isabelle Lee was named the PBC Goalkeeper of the Week per the league office Monday afternoon.
Drew notched the 18th hat trick in the NCAA Division II era (2005) of UNG women's soccer history Wednesday at home against Lincoln Memorial. She scored three first-half goals in just 22 minutes to put the Nighthawks ahead 3-1 by halftime. Wednesday marked Drew's first career game with multiple goals and thus her first-ever hat trick as UNG went on to win 5-1.
Drew then went on to record an assist on the only Nighthawk goal in Saturday's PBC opener, a 1-0 victory at home against USC Beaufort.Â
The senior transfer from Georgia Southern currently leads UNG with four goals on the year and is tied for the team lead in assists with three.
Lee had a fantastic week for the Nighthawks in a pair of victories as she is starting to come into her own as the UNG net minder.
On Wednesday, Lee faced six shots and allowed just one goal while making three saves in a 5-1 thrashing of Lincoln Memorial.
In UNG's PBC opener on Saturday against USC Beaufort (USCB), Lee completed the second shutout of her career and this season. She stopped both USCB shots on goal amd fended off six shot attempts in total.
After being named the Nighthawk of the Week last week, Lee earned the first conference weekly award of her career Monday. She is the first UNG keeper to win the award since
Sierra Fowler last season on Nov. 4.
Now Drew, Lee and the rest of the Nighthawks will prepare for their first conference road test of the year as they head to St. Augustine, Fla on Wednesday, Sept. 24 to take on Flagler at 12 p.m.
