BIRMINGHAM, Ala. –Mizzou soccer freshman forward Sarah Luebbert (Jefferson City, Mo.) was named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week, the league office announced on Monday after she tallied goals in each of the Tigers' wins over the weekend.
Against Colorado on Aug. 28, Luebbert headed in the game-winning goal in the 94th minute of action to give the Tigers a 2-1 overtime victory. The goal was her team-leading third of the year and second game-winner of the young season. Luebbert also helped the Tigers notch a 3-2 overtime win over Illinois on Aug. 26 with a goal in the 78th minute and earned the penalty kick in overtime that set up the ultimate winner.
Only four games into her collegiate career, Luebbert leads Mizzou with six points on three goals. She is the first Tiger to score three goals in her first four games in a Mizzou uniform since Bree Thornton in 2006.
