Kalamazoo College midfielder Ruby Hogan was named MIAA Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week Monday (Oct. 12).
A senior from Cedar, Mich. (Glen Lake), Hogan scored back-to-back hat tricks in a pair of exceptional victories for the Hornets last week. She totaled six goals and two assists.
First, Hogan scored the second, third and fourth goals in a 7-1 win at Alma on Tuesday, adding an assist in the second half. Then, Kalamazoo had a field day at Alverno on Saturday, with Hogan scoring the second, fifth and 12th goals along with an assist in an 18-1 win, with the 18 goals scored tying the program record, first set on Oct. 27, 1998.
Hogan's brilliant play stretches back to Sept. 30, with 10 goals and four assists in four games since. She now stands at #3 in NCAA DIII in total points (32), #6 in total goals (13) and #27 in total assists (6), all leading Kalamazoo and the MIAA. As a team, the Hornets rank #2 in DIII in scoring offense at 4.42 goals per game.
Kalamazoo women's soccer returns home to face Adrian College Wednesday at 5 p.m. at MacKenzie Field. It will be the Hornets' Most Valuable Professor game, with seniors selecting a member of the faculty that has been particularly impactful on their time at K.
