TicketsCINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati junior goalkeeper Anna Rexford, freshman forward/midfielder Megan Smith and graduate midfielder Brandi Thomsen secured American Athletic Conference weekly honors on Monday.
Rexford was named AAC Goalkeeper of the Week for the second time this season, while Smith picked up her third Rookie of the Week honors and Thomsen earned a spot on the honor roll. It is the sixth week this season that the Bearcats have claimed one of the four main honors, the most since 2017.
Rexford posted a pair of clean sheets in victories over Houston and South Florida last week, moving into a tie for second in the conference with six shutouts on the season. She played all 180 minutes between the posts, totaling seven saves, including tying a career-high six against the Cougars.
Smith notched her team-high fourth goal this season on the Bearcats' opening tally in the 42nd minute against Houston. She is one of 16 AAC players with four goals this season. Smith is the only Bearcat to win AAC Rookie of the Week honors three times in a single season.
Thomsen notched the game winner in a 1-0 win over South Florida to secure a postseason berth for the Bearcats. The goal was the second of the season for Thomsen, who logged 154 of the 180 minutes over the last week's matches.
Cincinnati will close out the regular season on Thursday with a 7 p.m. match at East Carolina.
