Caigan Leonard, a sophomore forward for the UNCW Seahawks, was crowned the Coastal Athletic Association Offensive Player of the Week after a standout opening stretch that saw her net goals in back‑to‑back victories.
Looking Ahead
She opened the season by striking in the 68th minute against App State, a decisive strike that helped the team pull away to a 3‑0 win, and followed it up just two minutes into the next match against Western Carolina with a quick equalizer that set the tone for a 2‑1 triumph.
The back‑to‑back scoring performances not only marked Leonard’s first multi‑game scoring streak in her UNCW career but also delivered the program’s first 2‑0 start since 2019, igniting optimism among players and supporters alike.
Next up, the Seahawks are slated to host Old Dominion at the UNCW Soccer Stadium on Thursday, August 20, with kickoff scheduled for 6 p.m. The match will be streamed live on FloCollege, giving fans another chance to watch Leonard’s momentum continue.
