COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - BYU junior midfielder Bobbi Tillotson and UNLV senior defender Nickie Olson have been named Mountain West Conference Women's Soccer Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, respectively.

Tillotson, from Sandy, Utah, scored four goals against Air Force, tying BYU's record for most goals scored in a game by a single player. Tillotson scored the four goals off five shots, notching her first career hat trick in the process. She also recorded two assists in the Cougars 2-0 win over Wyoming. Her 10 point weekend ranks first in the Mountain West this season and her eight-point game ranks her second all-time in the MWC.

Olson, a Las Vegas, Nev., native, earns her second MWC weekly award for being a part of a backline that dominated the game against TCU, holding the Horned Frogs to just one shot on goal in a 1-0 win. She also helped the Rebels record their sixth straight shutout with a 2-0 win at New Mexico, setting a MWC record fourth consecutive shutout in league play. Olsen helped hold the two teams to a combined 19 shots. She also contributed on offense, scoring her third goal of the year in the 58th minute against New Mexico.
