East Central Community College sophomore forward Leah Anderson was voted the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior College Women’s Soccer Player of the Week after picking up her second hat trick of the season.
She was recognized for her play Sept. 23-29.
A native of Leyland, United Kingdom, Anderson scored three goals to help the Lady Warriors defeat Gulf Coast 5-1 on Sept. 24 in Decatur. She followed that with East Central’s only goal in a 2-1 home loss to Jones College on Sept. 27.
She also scored a hat trick with three goals in a 5-0 win at Southwest on Aug. 30.
For the season, Anderson now has 12 goals and six assists to lead the team in both categories. She is currently tied for third place for the most goals in a season and second place for assists in a season in East Central Lady Warrior soccer history. With 16 career goals, she is also just four goals shy of tying the all-time Lady Warrior career record of 22 goals by Brooke White in the 2006-07 seasons.
