Principia College's Alicia Girbes-Pierce, a senior from San Diego, Calif. (Mira Mesa), has been named the Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week for the week of October 24-30.

Girbes-Pierce, a forward, recorded a hat trick with three goals all in the second half of Principia's 4-1 win versus Fontbonne University. She also tallied the game-winning goal in the victory.

"Alicia [Girbes-Pierce] has continued to be a solid player for us in the attack," said Principia head coach Jess Semnacher. "Although she was man-marked in the game against Greenville, she was still able to get scoring opportunities and find ways to move the ball for her team. Her ability to hold the ball when she has two or three defenders pressuring is what makes her lethal in the attack."
