Turlington Notches Second Big South Offensive Player Of The Week Award

CHARLOTTE – The Big South Conference named the winners for its weekly awards for women's soccer on Monday afternoon, with the league office selecting Gardner-Webb forward Maddie Turlington (Roanoke, Texas / Byron Nelson HS) as Co-Offensive Player of the Week. It marks the second time this season that Turlington has earned the league's Offensive Player of the Week honor. 
 
Turlington tallied a pair of first half goals to give Gardner-Webb the advantage it needed to claim its first conference road win of the season at Longwood.
 
The first goal hit the back of the net in the 13th minute with the second coming in the 41st. She took a total of eight shots in the match, directing five of them on goal. This marked the tenth game-winning goal of her career.
 
Following another dominant week, the senior forward is now third in the nation in points per game (2.69) and third in goals per game (1.15). Turlington is also now tied for fourth all-time for career goals scored at Gardner-Webb with 37.

Gardner-Webb is next in action at home against Campbell on Tuesday, October 4, as it continues the league portion of its schedule. Opening kickoff is set for 4 p.m. from Greene-Harbison Stadium in Boiling Springs.
