Grace Vidmar Earns SLIAC Offensive Player of the Week

BELLEVILLE, IL -- Freshman Grace Vidmar was named the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Women's Soccer after scoring three goals this past week. 

Vidmar helped the Beavers to two wins during the week as they defeated Mount Mary University Thursday and followed it with two goals in their home opener against Sturgeon. 

This time, freshman Giselle Moya got possesion of the ball near midfield and was able to pass over the MMU defenders to a sprinting Vidmar. Vidmar was able to kick it past the keeper again for her first the game and second of the year. 

In Saturday's win, she scored the team's second goal. After getting fouled in the box she drilled a penalty kick into the bottom left corner of the goal. To open the second half she added her fourth of the year when she took a shot well outside the box that she placed over a jumping keeper to make the score 3-0. 

Vidmar has now scored four goals this season. 

Blackburn returns to action Tuesday to face Lincoln Land Community College in a scrimmage. They then will host Maranatha Baptist University Friday afternoon.
