Freshman class proving worth for women’s soccer

By Ben Everett | Sports Editor

Baylor soccer graduated All-Big 12 performers Precious Akanyirige and Aline De Lima from last year’s team, but two heralded freshmen are already helping to fill those voids.

Freshman midfielder Maddie Algya and freshman forward/midfielder Taylor Moon have both earned the Big 12 Freshman of the Week title for the first two weeks of the regular season.

Moon said receiving the award is humbling because of the freshmen talent in the conference.

“That’s such a huge honor because I know so many good freshmen that play in the Big 12,” Moon said.
