WESTERVILLE, Ohio – Following a fantastic game against Mount Union on Saturday, Heidelberg University Women's Soccer player Syd Hewer has been honored as the Ohio Athletic Conference Player of the Week. This marks Hewer's first career OAC Player of the Week honor.

Last weekend, Heidelberg took down Mount Union, 5-2. Down 1-0 early, teammate Brianna Braatz took the ball down the field and connected on a beautiful pass to Hewer who blasted the ball past the goalkeeper to the back of the net, making it 1-1. 
 
In the second half, Mount Union made it 2-2. Heidelberg drew the foul from just outside the penalty box setting up a free kick. Looking to break the tie, Hewer's shot flew past the wall of defenders and goalkeeper to give The Berg the lead once more, this time for good.

In the 84th minute, Hewer set up teammate Mallory Zavatchen with a goal from the corner, pushing Heidelberg out in front by two.

On the week, Hewer had two goals, one assist, four shots, and three shots on goal.

The women's soccer team returns to action at home on Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 4 p.m. They will host OAC foe John Carroll.
