SEGUIN, Texas -- The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) announced women's soccer weekly awards Monday evening and for the second consecutive week and fourth time this season, Natalia Cortez (Edinburg/Robert Vela) was tabbed SCAC Offensive Player of the Week.

Cortez played an integral role in the Bulldogs undefeated run through the SCAC in regular season conference play. Cortez led the SCAC with nine goals in conference play and leads NCAA Division-III with eight game-winners.

Cortez continues to be one of the nation's most dominant attackers, compiling 15 goals and 31 points. Most recently, Cortez notched her third brace of the season to help guide the Bulldogs to a 4-1 victory over Dallas. The Edinburg native's brace marked her second straight match with two goals and fourth overall with multiple goals. Her second goal proved to be the game winner, her eighth of the season.

By finishing atop the SCAC standings, Texas Lutheran earned a first-round bye in the SCAC Championship and will return to action on Friday, November 6 when it meets the winner of Concordia (TX) versus Austin College at Round Rock Multipurpose Complex in Round Rock. The match will be streamed on FloCollege. All streaming and live stats links will be available on tlubulldogs.com.
