DAHLONEGA  – The Peach Belt Conference (PBC) has announced Nina Lopez as the Women's Soccer Player of the Week after helping guide the No. 19 University of North Georgia (UNG) women's soccer team to a 2-0 record last week. 

Lopez scored a pair of goals against Georgia Southwestern to set the Nighthawks up for a 4-0 victory. The brace marked her second of the season. 

Against Middle Georgia, the junior midfielder tallied a career-high three assists to help North Georgia secure another 4-0 victory on the road and the team's sixth win in a row. 

Lopez currently sits atop the PBC with nine goals under her belt this season. She has already surpassed her nine-goal total from the 2025 campaign in just 13 games. 

The Melbourne, Fla. native also leads the league with 25 shots on goal and ranks second with four assists. 

The award marks the first PBC weekly honor of Lopez's career. 

Lopez and the Nighthawks will look to bring this momentum into a road match against Georgia College on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. in Milledgeville, Ga.
