Senior forward Brittany Timko was named the Big 12 Conference offensive player of the week for the second time this season after leading the Huskers to a pair of come-from-behind wins in league play last weekend. The 5-7 Coquitlam, British Columbia, native was also recognized as the Top Drawer Soccer National Player of the Week on Monday.
The honor follows an outstanding weekend for Timko that included three goals and one assist to lead the Huskers to league wins over Baylor and Texas Tech. Timko produced the game-tying goal in both matches, while tacking on the game-winning goal against the Red Raiders. Timko also notched an assist on the game-winning goal against Baylor.
Timko’s two goals against Texas Tech gave her 41 goals on her career in addition to her 41 career assists. She is only the second player in school history to record 40 goals
and 40 assists in a career. Timko joined Meghan Anderson (48 goals, 50 assists) as the only two players in Nebraska soccer history to hit the 40/40 mark. Timko and Anderson are also the only players in the 11-year history of the Big 12 Conference to join the 40/40 club, as well as being two of just 35 players in NCAA history to reach the marks.
Timko has a Big 12 Conference-leading 28 points behind 11 goals and six assists this season. The 5-7 forward leads the league in several statistical categories including points (28), points per game (2.15), goals (11) and goals per game (0.85), while ranking second in assists (6). Timko’s explosive weekend also catapulted her into the upper echelons of the national rankings where she now ranks fifth in points per game and seventh in goals per game.
Texas A&M goalkeeper Kristin Arnold was selected as the league's defensive player of the week, while Oklahoma's Audrey Habibi earned the newcomer award.
Timko and the Huskers split a pair of games on the road and at home this weekend. Nebraska travels to Texas A&M on Friday for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff before returning to Lincoln for a 1 p.m. start against Texas on Sunday. Sunday’s match with the Longhorns will feature a special Senior Day ceremony honoring Timko’s career as a Husker.
