AUBURN, Ala. – Senior midfielder Bri Folds has been named Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Week honorable mention, the publication announced Tuesday.

It marks the first time this season and sixth time in her career Folds has been recognized by Top Drawer Soccer. The honor also comes a day after Folds was named the Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Week.

Folds scored in both contests last week and tied a program record with a goal in four straight contests. She became the ninth player in program history to accomplish the feat, including the first since Casie Ramsier in 2016.

The Lakeland, Florida, native turned in a season-high three points in a 2-0 win vs. Syracuse Thursday. She assisted on the game-winning goal against the Orange and later converted on one of her own as she hit a left-footed chip from 20 yards out to double the Tigers' advantage.

Three days later, Folds stepped up and converted her third penalty kick of the season in a 3-0 win against Troy. Folds not only matched the program record for consecutive matches with a goal, but the goal also marked the 22nd of her career, placing her in a tie for ninth in program history.

Through five contests, the senior leads the team with four goals and nine points. She ranks in the top 10 in the league in both categories.

Folds and the Tigers concludes a four-match homestand with a pair of contests this weekend, starting with a tilt against Southern Miss Friday at 6:30 p.m.
