Offense Player of the Week: Breanna Moore

Freshman forward Breanna "Breezy" Moore was named the Southland Conference Offense Player of the Week for the week of Oct. 31. This is the first time she has received this honor for the season, but it certainly won’t be her last.

The final week of conference matches brought a new accomplishment for Moore: her first multi-goal game. Moore scored two goals in the match set against Sam Houston and completed a hat trick to solidify the win for SFA. It was her determination and clear strategy she held that named her the Offense Player of the Week. 

Hailing from her hometown of Kingwood, Texas, Moore started off her collegiate debut with a strong entrance. In the season-opener at Arkansas, Moore fought her way to deserve her spot as a starter for the season. Her fierce performance on the field paid off. Appearing in all 19 games of the season, Moore started in 18 of those matches. 

Moore’s skills were vital in ensuring the Ladyjacks won their fifth straight Southland Conference regular season championship. As well, she was a part of one of the most potent offense teams in the SLC. The Ladyjacks finished out the season ranked second in goals scored and shots taken, and third in assists given. As of Oct. 27, she also played a huge part in the team that built the longest conference unbeaten streak in the nation—32 games total. 

While Moore’s contribution to the team has been noticed, her own individual achievements are impressive, too. From Oct. 26-27, Moore scored goals in four consecutive games. That accomplishment is already extraordinary, but adding to the fact that she is only a freshman means she is on track to be one of the best offense players the Ladyjacks and SLC have ever seen. Moore’s performance alongside her teammates resulted in SFA going 4-0-0 during those matches. 


With over 1,000 minutes of game time under her belt in her first season, the Southland Conference is guaranteed to see more of Moore. Three years left at SFA means there is much greater feats ahead for Moore. She has potential unparalleled to most other freshmen in the league, so she is absolutely one to watch.
