REDLANDS, Calif. – The Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) announced their Women's Soccer Athletes of the Week in the fifth week of voting and University of Redlands first year midfielder Natalie Turiace (San Dimas, CA) was selected as the Offensive Athlete of the Week for the first time in her career.
Natalie led the University of Redlands to a 1-1 week, which included a 2-0 shut out win against Whittier College.
