ELLENSBURG, Wash. – Central Washington University women's soccer forward Makinzie Packwood earned Great Northwest Athletic Conference offensive player of the week honors.
 
She tallied two goals and an assist on the week.
 
"It's exciting to be recognized," CWU Head Coach Michael Farrand said. "It's been awhile since we have had a player of the week. For it to be Mak in the beginning of the year is a testament to the work she put in to come back from a serious injury. She's had points, and a positive impact, in all of our outings this year."
 
Packwood tallied her first goal of the season against the College of Idaho, putting the Wildcats ahead 1-0 in the 23^rd minute. The Clarkston native later added an assist on Maci Parke's game-winning goal in the 74^th minute. The Wildcats received a corner with the score tied 2-2, searching for the go-ahead marker. Packwood took the corner and played a ball into the box for Parke, who buried her shot to take a late 3-2 lead. In the 'Cats second game of the week, Packwood scored an equalizing goal in the 51^st minute, though Central eventually fell 2-1 to Chaminade.
 
The Crimson and Black are slated to play Humboldt State University on Friday (September 10) in Monmouth, Oregon.
