KCAC accolades

Sophomore Leigh Costello (The Colony, Texas) was named the KCAC women’s soccer offensive player of the week for her Sept. 24 performance against Oklahoma Wesleyan.

Costello assisted on the first goal of the match, and scored what proved to be the game-winner to help Tabor end a 12-game losing streak.

“I was really proud of the women’s effort against Oklahoma Wesleyan,” Brubacher said. “Leigh was a big part of that, getting us an assist and then the goal off the free kick.”
