The South Atlantic Conference announced its Women's Soccer Players of the Week for matches played during the sixth week of the 2022 season. 

Tusculum forward Sydney Grant was named the SAC Offensive Player of the Week, while Wingate defender Nicole Cristy was named SAC Defensive Player of the Week.

Grant, a freshman from Schaumburg, Illinois, led the Pioneers to a 2-0 record last week, including a 2-1 win over Lincoln Memorial. She scored a goal against the Railsplitters and then netted two goals, including the game-winner, in a 5-0 win over Salem in non-conference action.

For the week she had three goals and six points. 

Cristy, a junior from Indian Trail, North Carolina, anchored a defense that allowed just one goal in 180 minutes of action last week and led the Bulldogs to a 1-0-1 record, with a 1-0 win over Newberry and a 1-1 draw against Lenoir-Rhyne. 

In addition to leading the defense, Cristy also scored the game-winning goal against Newberry. 

She finished the week with a goal and two points.
