EAST LANSING, Mich. -
The conference office announced today that freshman Alexis “Lexy” Warner has been selected as the Sept. 1 Big Ten Freshman of the Week.
Warner has started all four of the Spartans’ games and scored her first career collegiate goal as well as registering an assist in the Spartans’ home opener 2-1 win over the University of Dayton Aug. 30. She leads the Spartans in shots taken with 7 (featuring 6 this week– 3 against Oakland University Aug. 27 and 3 vs. Dayton).
A graduate of Father Gabriel Richard High School, the Ypsilanti, Michigan native has helped lead her team to a 3-0-1 record. Her three points rank second on the team.
While ecstatic to score her first goal, Warner stressed the importance of teamwork after the win over Dayton.
"This is a Spartan family, and every time we get out on this pitch we play for each other," Warner said. "We play for our coach. We play for our team and the team name on the jersey. I was just really excited to put one in for the Spartans. It means a lot."
