INDIANAPOLIS –
Lia Quintero has been selected as the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week.
Quintero, a native of Quincy, Ill., tallied two scores against the Quincy Hawks Sunday in a 3-0 Truman State win. Her first goal in the 32nd minute off an assist by
Emma Thompson proved to be the game winner while the second, off an assist by
Quinn Nauman, set the 3-0 final score in the 61st minute. The four points against the Hawks were a career high for Quintero.
Coincidentally, the second goal of her career came in 2023 during a 3-0 Bulldog win over Quincy on Sept. 22.
This marks Quintero's first career selection as GLVC Offensive Player of the Week and first Truman State nod on the offensive side since Chance Douglass on Oct. 14, 2019. Teammate
Tatumn Damron won the conference defensive award one week ago.
