North Texas heads into Friday night’s away game after a 5-0 home win over Southern. UNT freshman Claire Niedermeier scored a brace in the first half, giving her three goals this season. After just six games this year, Niedermeier’s three goals are the seventh-most by a UNT freshman in the last 10 years.
Niedermeier and UNT Senior Rachel Roebuck were named American Athletic Conference Player of the Week with honorable mention on Monday. Roebuck had five goals and an assist in the win and leads all AAC players in points, goals and shots.
Following Friday’s game, the Mean Green will return home to host Florida Atlantic in their conference opener on Sept. 12. Fans attending the game will receive free Mean Green football scarves.
