SAINT MARY-OF-THE-WOODS, Ind. — Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College women's soccer standout Lauren Gill has been named the River States Conference Offensive Player of the Week following a historic offensive performance to close the 2026 season, the league announced Monday.

Gill delivered a remarkable final week for the Pomeroys, scoring five goals across two matches, including a four-goal performance in SMWC's 5-1 victory over Kentucky Christian on Oct. 31.

The four-goal outburst marked the second-most goals scored in a single game in program history and helped Gill finish the season with 15 goals, tying the SMWC single-season record.

Gill opened the week by scoring the Pomeroys' lone goal in a 7-1 setback at IU Kokomo on Oct. 29. She finished the contest with two shots, including one on goal.

The junior followed with an explosive performance in the regular-season finale against Kentucky Christian, finding the back of the net four times on nine shots, including four on goal. Gill accounted for four of SMWC's five goals in the victory and was credited with the game-winning goal.

Across the two contests, Gill totaled 10 points on five goals while converting 45.5 percent of her 11 shot attempts. She averaged 2.5 goals and five points per match, establishing herself as one of the conference's most productive offensive performers during the final week of the regular season.

Her record-tying season also provided a fitting conclusion to an impressive individual campaign. Gill's 15 goals matched the program's single-season mark, while her four-goal performance against Kentucky Christian secured a place among the top single-game scoring efforts in SMWC history.

The Pomeroys concluded the 2026 campaign with a 3-14-1 overall record and a 1-6-1 mark in River States Conference play. Gill's historic finish highlighted the season-ending victory and earned her recognition among the conference's top performers.
