For the second consecutive week and third time this season, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa women’s soccer midfielder Nalani Damacion has earned Big West Freshman of the Week honors on September 23.
Damacion scored the game-winning goal in a 2-1 win over UC Davis in the Big West opener on September 19, converting a penalty kick in the 51st minute to put UH in front.
The midfielder leads all freshmen nationally with four game-winning goals on the season, delivering the go-ahead score in four of UH‘s five wins. Damacion also leads the Big West and is tied for fourth nationally in game-winners, with three of her four game-winning scores coming in the second half.
Damacion is the first Big West player since 2021 to earn freshman of the week honors three times in a season and the first UH player ever to take home the award in back-to-back weeks.
