Kayla Keefer Recognized as Top Drawer Soccer Player of the Week

NORMAN — Kayla Keefer, a junior forward for Oklahoma Soccer, has been named Top Drawer Soccer Player of the Week, as announced on October 20. This accolade follows her recognition as the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Offensive Player of the Week.

Last week, Keefer scored four goals and provided one assist, including a hat trick in Oklahoma's 6-1 victory over Ole Miss. This achievement ties her with Abby Wambach for the most hat tricks in a single season by an SEC player, a record set in 2000.

Keefer, from Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, played a crucial role in leading OU to a successful 2-0 week, securing a spot in the SEC Tournament with 15 points in the conference standings. Her goal against Mississippi State on Thursday contributed to a 2-0 win and also set a new record for single-season goals and points at OU, surpassing the previous record held by Whitney Palmer since 2009.

Currently, Keefer leads the nation with 19 goals and 41 points, with two regular season games remaining. Oklahoma will host Arkansas for Senior Night this Friday at 7 p.m.
