     FORT WORTH, Texas - Texas Wesleyan junior forward Jessica Carrion was named Red River Athletic Conference player of the week by the conference office on Tuesday morning.

     Carrion, a Fort Worth native, led Texas Wesleyan (2-1-1) to a win and a tie with three goals and an assist last week. The Lady Rams tied Northwestern Oklahoma State, 2-2, with Carrion assisting on the equalizer in the 76th minute. In the previous game, she contributed her first hat trick of the season in a 4-2 win over UT-Tyler. She punched in two goals to break a 1-1 deadlock then closed out the scoring with her third goal in the 86th minute. Carrion has now scored a goal or an assist in all four of the Lady Rams' games, with a total of six goals.

     "Jessica is doing a very good job to open the season," head coach Steve Jones said. "She has a lot of good players surrounding her and it is creating more opportunities for her. Her fitness is getting better with every game. Once all the players adjust to one another, I look for her output to increase."

     Texas Wesleyan returns to action Friday when they host Texas Women's at Martin Field. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m.
