Responsible for not just the first, but also the second goal of the season for Academy of Art women's soccer, junior midfielder Reyna Valencia collected her second game-winner after a breakout performance against Holy Names on Oct. 10.

The fastest goal in ART U program history was credited to Valencia when she netted one off a pass into the box from junior defender Avica Robings just 51 seconds into the match against the Hawks. Just over a minute later, Valencia would gather her third point of the afternoon when she flicked a ball forward with her head to put junior forward Brooklyn Morera on a run toward the box. Finally, in the 80th minute, Valencia would assist yet another score, this one to graduate student midfielder Melissa Wilson, to give her four points on the day which tied for the sixth-most in Academy of Art history.

Valencia's two game-winning goals currently rank tied for fourth-most in the Pacific West Conference.
