North Alabama seniors Charlotte Sobotka and Gracie Tyrrell earned United Athletic Conference weekly honors after helping the Lions close the regular season with three straight shutouts and secure second place in the Blue Division. Sobotka was named Player of the Week after contributing to all three goals in a 3-0 win over West Georgia; Tyrrell earned Defensive Player of the Week for anchoring a defense that allowed no goals across two matches.

By the Numbers
  • Sobotka recorded 4 points: 1 goal and 2 assists against West Georgia.
  • She finished the regular season with 10 points in 661 minutes.
  • Tyrrell helped limit opponents to 6 shots on goal across 2 matches, with no goals conceded in 180 minutes.
  • North Alabama earned 7 conference weekly awards this season, the most in its Division I era.
Yes, But

The honors cap a strong regular season, but the Lions’ postseason challenge is next: they must carry that defensive form into the UAC tournament.

North Alabama faces Central Arkansas in the UAC postseason on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 1 p.m. in Conway, Arkansas.
