Darby Woolever and Olivia Miller earn MACCC Player of the Week honors

JACKSON - After an impressive week for the Northwest Mississippi Community College women's soccer team that saw them raise the Region 23 trophy for a fourth consecutive season, the Rangers saw another pair of accolades come their way with a pair of players earning the MACCC Player of the Week awards. 

In net, sophomore goalie Darby Woolever had her best week as a Ranger, making 19 saves across two games, including 12 against top-seeded and national number one Holmes Community College on the way to a clean sheet in the 2-0 win. Even more impressively, the sophomore didn't find out she was starting until just prior to the game against #3 Pearl River Community College, making seven saves against the Wildcats on their own field. 

On the offensive side, fellow sophomore Olivia Miller was stellar on the field, scoring both goals in the 2-1 victory over Pearl River, with both coming on unassisted shots from outside of 30 yards from the net. She followed that performance by showing how opportunistic she can be by getting the Rangers onto the board against Holmes when she stole the ball away from the defense, leading to a quick one-on-one with the goalie to get Northwest onto the board in the first half. Both games would see her get the game-winner, and she would increase her season tally for goals scored to 14. 

The Rangers will still have more accolades to look forward to, with the All-MACCC and All-Region 23 teams being announced next week. They will also be competing for a third straight NJCAA Division II National Championship beginning on Sunday when they travel to Huntsville, Alabama, for tournament action starting on November 15th, with the championship game scheduled to be played on the afternoon of the 21st.
