TDS women's team of the week: Sept. 2
So far, the Texas A&M attack looks like one of the nation’s best.
Seven goals across two games over the past weekend saw the Aggies extend their record to 4-0 on the campaign, and the College Station program also provided this week’s TopDrawerSoccer.com Player of the Week.
One of many impressive offensive performances over the past few days, Aggie attacker Kelley Monogue scored three goals and added two assists in two wins, including a pair of goals and an assist in a 3-0 defeat of UCF on Friday.
Monogue’s hot start to the season has been a big part of the Aggies perfect start to the 2014 campaign, as she’s scored five goals and chipped in three assists.
Below is the complete TDS women’s Team of the Week.
