LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV Women's Soccer forward Susie Bernal has been named to Top Drawer Soccer's National Team of the Week after she assisted on both of the Rebels' goals over the weekend in a double overtime 1-1 tie against Boise State and a 1-0 overtime win over Utah State. The pair of assists gives her a team-leading eight on the season and 20 in her career, setting the new program record for career assists. She needs just one assist to tie and two to break the single-season assists mark set by teammate and fellow senior Jordan Magnin in 2015.
The first-place Rebels (14-3-2, 7-1-2) head into Friday's finale at Nevada, Reno with a one point lead in the Mountain West standings. A win in the annual Governor's Series matchup against UNLV's in-state rival will guarantee the Rebels' first regular season conference championship since 2007. The team has already set program records for most wins (14), most goals (42) and most assists (42) in a single season in program history.
Bernal is the fourth National Team of the Week selection for the Rebels this season, with Dakota Blazak earning honors in September and Magnin collecting the award in back-to-back weeks in early October. Junior Sophie Cortes and senior Lily Sender have also been recognized as honorable mention selections this season.
