Olson Nets First Weekly Conference Award

 CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Big South Conference announced Monday afternoon that Paige Olson has been named the Offensive Player of the Week after her goal on Saturday versus Charleston Southern.

Olson's play on Senior Day helped Radford secure a 2-0 win and the Big South regular season crown. She drew a foul on the attacking half that led to Radford's first goal, then rebounded her own penalty shot for her fifth goal of the season.


Despite the many honors during the senior's remarkable career, this is Olson's first weekly Big South award. The Roanoke, Va. native is the fifth different Radford player to be honored with a weekly award, joining Ryane Devlin, Katie Purnell, Lexi Radvanyi, and Lilly Short.


The Highlanders look to clinch the Big South regular season outright on Wednesday night at Gardner-Webb in the regular season finale. Kickoff is at 7:00 p.m. and can be seen on ESPN+.
