UNC junior Rachel Jones was selected Tuesday by TopDrawerSoccer.com as the National Offensive Player of the Week for her efforts in a pair of Tar Heel wins over Wake Forest and Virginia Tech.

Jones — who spends time at both forward and midfield — scored a career-high two goals and dished out an assist in a 4-1 victory against the Demon Deacons, while recording two shots and helping a stellar team defensive effort in a 1-0 shutout win over the Hokies.

A member of the ACC’s All-Freshman team in 2018, this is the first Player of the Week award of her career–at the national or conference level.
