NEW ORLEANS – The Sun Belt Conference office announced today that North Texas Mean Green junior forward Heather Hutyra has been named the Sun Belt Conference Soccer Player of the Week.

The junior from Fort Worth, Texas picked up her third career back-to-back multi-goal performance scoring two goals on September 29th against Florida International and then again scoring two goals on October 1st against Florida Atlantic.

Denver, Middle Tennessee and North Texas all continued their Sun Belt Conference dominance this weekend. Denver posted 5-1 and 5-0 wins over FAU and FIU respectively while the Mean Green started 4-0 in conference play for the third time since joining the league, defeating FIU 5-1 and FAU 4-0. Middle Tennessee improved to 10-2 and 4-0 SBC over the weekend after scoring 16 goals in two games against South Alabama and Troy.

The Blue Raiders came into the weekend as one of the country’s top scoring offenses and left near the top as well. They have scored 50 goals on the season so far in only 12 games for an average of 4.17 goals per game which puts them second nationally.

North Texas and Denver are also in the top 25 scoring offenses as North Texas ranks 16th with 30 goals scored (2.50/game) and Denver sitting at 23rd with 26 goals scored (2.36/game).

Action continues this weekend as we enter the final month of regular season play.
