Player of the Week: Rylann Law, Illinois State
Defender of the Week: Abbey MacDonald, Murray State
Goalkeeper of the Week: Griselda Revolorio, Murray State

Rylann Law recorded the first brace of her career with two goals and an assist in ISU’s 6-0 win over UNI on Sunday. She now has four goals and a team-leading four assists on the season. Law found the net in the 23rd minute, scoring in the bottom right corner off her right foot. Law completed her brace at 58:02 and 50 seconds later assisted Maggie Dowling’s second goal of the match. She was one of two Redbirds to record a brace in the game, joining Dowling. The braces by Dowling and Law marked the first time two Redbirds have recorded multiple goals in the same match since Kate Del Fava and Natalie Vaughn-Low each recorded a brace against Missouri State on Nov. 8, 2019. The six-goal performance marked Illinois State's highest offensive output since a 10-0 victory over Chicago State in 2016. The six-goal margin was also the largest by the Redbirds against a Missouri Valley Conference opponent since a 9-2 victory over Indiana State on Oct. 14, 2012.

Abbey MacDonald played a major role in the Racers' shutout in their first MVC win of the 2026 season. MacDonald anchored the Murray State back line that blocked four shots and helped the Racers record their third clean sheet of the year. MacDonald played all 90 minutes as well, helping the Murray State defense create offense from the back line for their T-Most goals of the year.

Griselda Revolorio recorded her third clean sheet of the 2026 season, the 18th of her career. Revolorio faced 18 shots, notching seven saves moving her to 248 career saves at Murray State. Revolorio forced the Beacons to their fourth scoreless game of the year.
