IRVING, Texas- After two straight wins against Big 5 rivals this week, midfielder Quinn Nicolai has been named AAC Midfielder of the Week. It is the first time she has been honored with a weekly award since being named Big Ten Freshman of the Week in 2018 during her time at Penn State.
Nicolai had two spectacular games this week. Against Villanova on Wednesday, she tied her career-high with five goals, passed for an assist, and picked up four ground balls. Saturday against Saint Joseph's she was even better, scoring a career-high seven goals. Her seven goals are also the most of any Temple player since 2018.
