COLUMBIA, S.C. – Senior forward Danielle Au was named Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Week after scoring a pair of game-winning goals over No. 7 Duke and UNC-Wilmington this weekend.

Au scored the only goal of the match in the first half in leading South Carolina to a 1-0 win over seventh-ranked Duke. It was the program’s first win over a Top 10 opponent since 2010 and its first win at home over a Top 10 opponent since 2004.

In the season-opener against UNC Wilmington, the senior scored the game-winner just 9:10 into the match as the Gamecocks picked up a 2-0 victory. Au moved into sixth all-time at Carolina with 18 career goals scored.

Au and the Gamecocks continue non-conference play when they travel to Boston University next Friday for a 7:30 p.m. ET match. Visit GamecocksOnline.com throughout the week for match details.
