AUSTIN, Texas – Make it two consecutive weeks with a league honor for No. 17 Texas soccer (8-0) as sophomore forward Cyera Hintzen has earned her first career selection as the Big 12 Conference's Offensive Player of the Week (Sept. 19).

The Garland, Texas, native's award marks the second in a row for the Burnt Orange & White after junior midfielder Katie Glenn earned the league's offensive player of the week accolade on Sept. 12.

Hintzen continued to power the Longhorns offense by scoring her team-leading fourth goal, third match-winning score of the season and first career "golden goal" at the 97:13 mark to beat UTRGV, 1-0 (OT), and extend UT's undefeated run. She worked a perfect give-and-go with redshirt freshman teammate Cydney Billups before depositing a shot into the right side netting from eight yards out on the left side of the 18-yard box to seal the victory over the Vaqueros. The score came on Hintzen's only shot on goal during the match, while starting up top and playing 90 minutes.

Having posted an unbeaten non-conference slate for the first time in program history, Texas soccer preps to open Big 12 action at home this weekend. The Longhorns christen league play on Fri., Sept. 22, against Iowa State at 7 p.m. CT before welcoming in 2016 NCAA national runner-up and No. 5-ranked West Virginia on Sun., Sept. 24, at 1 p.m. CT.
