Clarksville, Tenn. – Junior Kirstin Robertson, of the Austin Peay State University women’s soccer team, has been named the Copies in a Flash APSU Athlete of the Week.

Robertson has opened her 2016 campaign on a tear, scoring four goals in her first five contests to sit second on the Ohio Valley Conference goals leaderboard, one behind Southeast Missouri’s Natasha Minor.

The Ashland City native claimed the first OVC Offensive Player of the Week award, Aug. 23, after netting the game-winning goal in both of Austin Peay’s opening weekend contests against UAB and Alabama State. She also found the back of the net in the Govs home opener against Evansville and at Lipscomb, Sunday.

The Copies in a Flash APSU Athlete of the Week is selected by the APSU Sports Information staff each Wednesday during the academic year. Copies in a Flash, of Clarksville, sponsors the award.
