Oct 23, 2023 | Soccer
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Texas A&M forward Jazmine Wilkinson was honored as the SEC Soccer Offensive Player of the Week, the league announced Monday.
Wilkinson registered her first career hat trick in the Aggies' thrilling 4-3 victory at Tennessee. All three goals played a pivotal role in the outcome, including two equalizers and the late game-winner.
In the 77th minute, Wilkinson fought off three Tennessee defenders and toe-poked a ball between the keeper and the right post for her second goal. Under a minute later, Wilkinson got her head on the end of a Sammy Smith service to complete the hat trick with the game winner.
Wilkinson's first goal came in the ninth minute, four minutes after Tennessee stunned the Aggies with an early ice breaker. She stole the ball off the feet of the Volunteers goalkeeper and sent in a nearly impossible shot from outside the penalty box just four yards off the end line.
The Nanaimo, British Columbia, product leads the Aggies with 21 points on a team-high nine goals to go with three assists.
The Aggies are 8-6-3 on the season and 4-3-2 in SEC play. They wrap up the regular season with Thursday's 7:30 p.m. road match against the LSU Tigers.
