September 27, 2021 | Soccer
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Tennessee freshman midfielder Taylor Huff has been named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week, the league office announced Monday afternoon.
Â
With time dwindling down and UT trailing 1-0 in its SEC home opener against No. 11 Auburn on Thursday, Huff took three touches across the middle of the field before driving a left-footed shot into the upper left corner of the goal in the 86th minute, tying the game and forcing overtime. UT went on to take a 2-1 win in double overtime.
Â
On Sunday, Huff found Jaida Thomas breaking into the box to record an assist on UT's first goal against Missouri in another 2-1 double-overtime victory.
Â
In total, she saw 168 minutes of action between the two contests. She currently leads the team in goals scored (6) and total points (15).
Â
Huff is the second Vol to receive a weekly honor this season. Fellow freshman and former International SC teammate Jordan Fusco also earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors on Aug. 23.
Â
Tennessee will continue conference play this week, facing Texas A&M on the road in an 8 p.m. ET contest on Friday that will be streamed on SECN+.
