Oregon junior Anna Simmons is off to a scorching start, scoring 13 goals in just two games, including a record-tying seven in Tuesday’s dominant 17-7 victory over Stetson at Papé Field.
As the Ducks celebrated their win, the Big Ten Conference announced Simmons as the Midfielder of the Week—an honor earned after her six-goal performance in Friday’s season opener against Butler. Based on her latest showing, it may not be her last recognition this season.
Simmons’ seven-goal outing matched Oregon’s single-game record, a mark previously set by Jana Drummond and Hanna Hilcoff. She was a force beyond scoring, winning five draws, forcing turnovers, and controlling possession throughout the game.
