IRVING, Texas (October 16, 2023) – The American Athletic Conference announced its weekly Offensive Player of the Week, Defensive Player of the Week, Goalkeeper of the Week, and Honor Roll on Monday. Leire Herraez Gallach was named the AAC Goalkeeper of the Week after a stellar week in net for the University of South Florida women's soccer team. Signe Markvardsen and Sadie Sider-Echenberg both landed on the Honor Roll.  
 
Gallach recorded two clean sheets over the week to lead the Bulls to a 2-0 week. She tallied nine saves for the week. She notched five saves against North Texas, followed by four saves against SMU. She has produced clean sheets in three-straight matches.
 
Markvardsen recorded her second-straight game-winning goal as she notched the lone goal in South Florida's victory against North Texas.
 
Sider-Echenberg delivered a world-class strike from well outside the 18-yard box. Her goal was the game-winner as USF defeated SMU, which was her first collegiate goal.
