Oct. 2, 2002

NORMAN, Okla. - The accolades continue to roll in for Oklahoma midfielder Lauren MacIver as Soccer America named the freshman to their national Team of the Week on Wednesday.

Last weekend, MacIver scored twice in OU's 4-0 win over Texas Tech for the first multiple goal game of her career. She also registered two assists in the Sooners 4-2 victory over Baylor. The Tulsa, Okla., freshman has started all 10 games for the Sooners and ranks third on the team in goals scored (three) and leads all OU newcomers with eight points (three goals, two assists).

MacIver was named the Oklahoma High School Player of the Year in 2001 after her outstanding career at state powerhouse Jenks High School.
