INDIANAPOLIS - Junior forward
Josie Gruber of Thomas More women's soccer was named the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Offensive Athlete of the Week for the week of October 2nd.
Gruber earned the award for the second time this season after leading the Saints' offense in their two victories this past week. In Tuesday night's 2-0 triumph over Kentucky Wesleyan, the Westerville, Ohio native netted goals in the 17th and 33rd minutes, her 9th and G-MAC leading 10th goals of 2026. Then on Saturday in Thomas More's G-MAC Tournament Quarterfinal match against Northwood, Gruber delivered a pass to fellow junior
Ivy Hoffman who scored the game's opening goal in the 19th minute. The Saints would go on to defeat the #5 seed Timberwolves 2-1 in overtime and advance to the semifinals of the G-MAC Tournament.
Gruber and women's soccer will head to Cedarville, Ohio on Thursday to take on the top-seeded Cedarville Yellow Jackets at 7 p.m. with a chance to advance to the G-MAC Tournament Final.
