Cressy and Williamson earn awards

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

Sophomore forward Emily Cressy earned national and Big 12 awards and freshman Shelby Williamson earned Big 12 recognition as well Tuesday. They were awarded for their roles in knocking off then-No. 20 Missouri Friday.

Cressy received the Big 12’s Offensive Player of the Week award and Collegesoccer360.com’s weekly Primetime Performer award. She is one of 22 players nationwide to receive the Web site’s distinction this week. She scored two goals, including the game-winner, in Kansas’ 3-2 victory against Missouri and leads the team with 11 goals this season.

Williamson earned the Big 12’s Newcomer of the Week award after scoring Kansas’ second goal in Friday’s match. She ranks second among Big 12 freshmen with seven goals and 16 points this year.

Williamson and Cressy join junior Lauren Jackson, senior Monica Dolinsky, and freshman Kat Liebetrau in earning weekly Big 12 awards this season.
