NATCHITOCHES—A big week that moved her into the program top 10 in career goals earned
Emily Senatore another Southland Conference weekly award.
Senatore, a junior from Oxford, Conn., earned the Co-SLC Offensive Player of the Week after recording a pair of goals in the 2-1 victory over Southeastern Louisiana.
She shared the honor with UTRGV's Isabella Burtini.
Senatore broke a 1-1 deadlock in the 84th minute with a goal into the bottom left corner of the net, which turned out to be her fifth game-winning goal of the season. That total leads the SLC and is tied for second nationally.
The pair of goals are Senatore's first two during conference play and brings her total to 10 this season.
Her two goals moved her to a tie for 10th place on the NSU all-time goal list, as she tied 2025 N-Club Hall of Fame inductee Heather Penico.
Her 10 goals are tied for fifth in the country and six shy of the school record, set in 2000 by Britiany Cargill.
It is her third conference weekly award this season, also winning it Aug. 19 after her two goals at Texas, and Sept. 9 after a goal and assist against Grambling.
She joins goalkeeper
Kennedy Rist as Demons who have three weekly conference awards this season.
NSU sits in third place in the Southland with a record of 2-1-1, tied with Southeastern, which it just knocked off. Every team has at least one win and just five points separate first place from 10th place.
Senatore and the rest of the Demons play in front of the home crowd once again, as NSU hosts Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Thursday. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.
