Wisconsin Pipeline
Southeast Missouri soccer carries seven total student-athletes who hail from the state of Wisconsin including all three seniors (Kaitlin Kuznacic, Angie Mann, Natasha Minor).

adidas® OVC Defender of the Week
Alexis Hacker played the full 90 minutes in both matches last weekend. In her NCAA debut at Tennessee, Hacker got the start on defense and was part of the defensive unit that shutout the Vols in the 1-0 victory. In Sunday's home opener, Hacker assisted on Natasha Minor's game-tying goal in the 54th minute while helping to hold Illinois Springfield to just five shots in the match.
 
adidas® OVC Goalkeeper of the Week
Kindra Lierz earned her sixth career Goalkeeper of the Week honors this week. Lierz held the Tennessee Vols scoreless in the season opener Friday in Knoxville. Despite allowing a goal in the home opener Sunday, Lierz earned three saves in the match and earned the win in goal after the Redhawks rallied from down one to win 3-1.
 
Chasing 200
Head coach Heather Nelson is one win away from recording her 200th career victory as a head coach. Nelson, who is in her 22nd season as a head coach, has a career record of 199-151-45. Nelson and her husband, Associate Head Coach Paul Nelson, spent four seasons at Florida State (1995-98) before taking over the Southeast women's team. The Nelsons have guided the Redhawks since the program's inception in 1999. Southeast has won five OVC regular season titles and two OVC Tournaments with two NCAA Tournament appearances (2006, 2007). Nelson is 168-107-40 at SEMO.
