Kate Henderson is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama soccer sophomore midfielder Kate Henderson is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week for the week of August 23-29, 2021.

On Friday against Lamar in Tuscaloosa, Henderson was responsible for two goals and four shots coming off the bench, with all four shots being on goal. Henderson's pair of goals were ultimately the deciding factor in the match, with the Crimson Tide winning the contest 3-1.

Once again coming off the bench on Sunday against Southern Miss, Henderson accounted for one shot on goal. In overtime, Henderson made an assist on the golden goal, hitting a header off of the goalkeeper that allowed teammate Felicia Knox to tap the goal into the net.

Thanks to Henderson's contributions, Alabama soccer went undefeated last week and now sits at 3-1 to start the season. The Crimson Tide will now host in-state foe Samford on Thursday before traveling to Memphis to take on the Tigers on Sunday.
