Appalachian State?s Holz Named Player of the Week

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Appalachian State junior forward Julia Holz has been named the Southern Conference women’s soccer player of the week for all competition Aug. 23-25. The selection is made by the league office.

Holz helped the Mountaineers to a 1-1 start on the season by scoring a pair of goals. After the opening weekend of play, Holz is the SoCon’s scoring leader with four points.

In Appalachian State’s 2-1 win over East Tennessee State on Friday, the Marietta, Ga., native netted an eighth-minute goal to get the Mountaineers on the board early.

Against Austin Peay on Sunday, Holz scored in the 54th minute to bring the Apps within a goal, but Appalachian State could not complete the comeback in falling 2-1.

The award is the second of Holz’s career, as she was also honored on Sept. 18, 2012.

The Mountaineers are back in action this Friday and Sunday at the Colorado College Invitational in Colorado Springs, Colo., where they will face the host Tigers and Southern Utah.

Also nominated: Nicole Dennion (Elon), Jamie Simmons (UNCG), Malcanisha Kelley (Samford), Kelly Pannell (Western Carolina) and Kimberly Cohn (Wofford).
