Ejere Nets Women's Soccer Second-Straight Offensive Player of the Week Award

RICHARDSON, Texas – For the second-straight week, the St. Mary's University Women's Soccer team has been awarded the Lone Star Conference Offensive Player of the Week award with senior Juni Ejere being honored on Tuesday.
 
Ejere, a fifth-year senior from Weatherford, Texas, scored one goal in each of the two victories for the Rattlers last week, helping the Rattlers to a 2-0 start for only the second time in Lone Star Conference history.
 
She found the back of the net in the 23rd minute for the 1-0 lead over UT Tyler as the Rattlers eventually won 3-1 in the LSC opener for both teams. At Lubbock Christian on Saturday, Ejere scored on a ridiculous kick out of the air from the corner of the box that went over both her and the goalkeeper's heads. 
 
This is the fourth weekly award of Ejere's career but the first in 2023. She joins sophomore Shelby Paniagua (Cibolo, Texas), who earned the honors last week.
 
The Rattlers face a pair of Lone Star Conference foes St. Edward's and Midwestern State this week.
