DALLAS – WKU’s Cena Carlson, Liberty’s Lauren Littleton and Delaware’s Sophia Hall earned Conference USA Women’s Soccer Player of the Week honors.
 
Offensive Player of the Week – Cena Carlson, WKU – Jr. – Gillette, Wy.
Carlson earns Offensive Player of the Week honors after recording a season-high four points on two goals in WKU’s (11-1-6, 5-1-2 CUSA) 3-1 road victory over MTSU to close out the regular season. The junior forward opened the scoring just eight minutes into the contest with a diving header off a corner kick before adding her second goal on a rebound later in the match. Carlson finished with a career-high seven shots, including five on goal, while helping the Hilltoppers secure their 11th victory of the season and finish the regular season with a program record-tying one loss.
 
Defensive Player of the Week – Lauren Littleton, Liberty – Sr. – Friendswood, Texas
Liberty (14-2-2, 7-0-1 CUSA) senior defender Lauren Littleton anchored another dominant defensive performance as the top-seeded Lady Flames secured the 2026 CUSA outright regular-season title with a 1-0 shutout victory over Missouri State. Littleton helped limit the Bears to just one shot, marking the eighth time this season Liberty has held an opponent to five shots or fewer and two shots on goal or fewer. The Lady Flames have surrendered just one goal in conference play and recorded six consecutive shutouts.
 
Goalkeeper of the Week – Sophia Hall, Delaware – So. – Malvern, Pa.
Delaware (10-3-5, 5-1-2 CUSA) sophomore goalkeeper Sophia Hall recorded her seventh shutout of the season in a scoreless draw against Sam Houston on Saturday. Hall played all 90 minutes between the posts, turning away both shots on goal she faced to preserve the clean sheet. The Malvern, Pa., native, earned her second award in a three-week span and guided the Blue Hens to the No. 3 seed in the upcoming CUSA Championship.
