Scoring the winning goal in both of Memphis' weekend victories, Christabel Oduro's game winning performances earned her Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week honors for the second time this season.
"I don't let it get to my head or anything," Oduro said. "I just take it if it comes and just keep playing the way I'm playing."
This weekend Oduro tallied two game-winning goals as the Lady Tigers extended their winning streak to 16 games, topping UTEP and Colorado College. Friday, logging 87 minutes against the Miners, Oduro took the shot that put the Tigers on the board. Sunday, Oduro posted her fourth game winner of the season against Colorado College that put the Tigers up 2-1.
"Any time you have a kid as talented as Christabel, it makes life easy," said Brooks Monaghen, head coach of the Lady Tigers. "She has so much room to grow; she's continually getting better and the sky is the limit for her."
A native of Brampton, Ontario, Oduro has eight goals and 19 points this season, the highest on the team.
"She is only a sophomore and hopefully she continues to improve as a player," Monaghan said. "As she improves, she is going to make the team that much better."
