Tiffany Weimer, Penn State
SR, F, North Haven, Conn./North Haven
Weimer collects Offensive Player of the Week honors after breaking the Big Ten career record for goals by scoring her 82nd and 83rd last weekend. The senior also extended her consecutive games scoring streak to 17-straight, tying her for the NCAA record for consecutive game with at least one goal each with Portland's Christine Sinclair, however Weimer's streak is the only one to remain active. The forward has netted 26 goals in 23 games while claiming her fourth weekly honor this season.
