Simmonds Earns SEC Offensive Player of the Week Honors

Kameron Simmonds has been named SEC Offensive Player of the Week in the first round of weekly awards, as announced by the league office on Monday.

Simmonds kicked off her sophomore campaign in grand fashion, scoring in each of UT's first two matches.

She netted her first goal of the season in the 55^th minute against Cal, slotting a penalty kick past the Golden Bears' keeper for Tennessee's third goal of the match.

She struck again at Lipscomb, bringing the ball down inside the box and turning a defender before placing the ball in the side net.

Fresh off a trip to the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup where she was part of the Jamaican squad that made history by becoming the first Caribbean nation to advance to the knockout round, Simmonds has made an immediate impact on Rocky Top, taking a team-leading six shots, all of which have been on frame for a perfect shot-on-goal percentage.

This marks the first SEC weekly honor for Simmonds, who finished her freshman season with four goals, three of which came in SEC play.

The Lady Vols will be back in action on Thursday, facing another in-state rival in ETSU. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET and the contest will be steamed on SECN+.
