After setting the Wiley University program record for most goals in a single game and leading the Lady Wildcats to their first victory since 2018, Deyanara Hernandez wins the Continental Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week for September 2-8.

Three of her goals were in the first half. Her performance gives her six goals for the season, which is tied for the lead in the conference.
