LOGAN, Utah — After helping Utah State to a 1-0-0 week with a 2-0 win over San Diego State to secure a regular season title and the top seed in the upcoming Pac-12 Championship, senior forward Kate Christian was named the Pac-12 Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week. 

Christian, a native of Kennewick, Washington, scored the game-winning goal in the 68th minute to help secure the team's first regular season conference title since 2012. Christian propelled the Aggie offense throughout the contest, leading all players with a season-high six shots, while starting and playing 62 minutes in the game. 

This is the first weekly conference award of Christian's career. She is the fourth Aggie player to earn Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honors this season, joining Ellie Hendrix (Sept. 1), Solena Sellers (Sept. 15) and Kunie Hirai (Nov. 3).
