KANSAS CITY — University of Tennessee soccer player Wrenne French has been named National Player of the Week by the United Soccer Coaches Association.
French, a senior defender for the Lady Vols, scored the lone goal in Tennessee’s 1-0 victory over South Carolina on Nov. 9 in her final home match at Regal Soccer Complex.
She was also named Southeastern Conference Defensive player of the Week after the Lady Vols downed the No. 9 Gamecocks to win the SEC East Division championship. It was UT’s first division title since 2005.
Tennessee will now turn its attention to the upcoming SEC Tournament in Orange Beach, Alabama.
The Lady Vols will have a double bye in the tournament and will open play on Nov.17, at 1 p.m. EST against either Vanderbilt or Ole Miss.
The match will be televised on the SEC Network.
