Kristin Burton Earns Third Straight PBC Player of the Week Honor

SAVANNAH, Ga. - Armstrong Atlantic State senior forward Kristin Burton has been named the Peach Belt Conference's women's soccer Player of the Week for the third straight week, announced today by league officials. 

Burton continued to rewrite the PBC record book last week with two goals and three assists to become the league's all-time points leader. She began with a goal and two assists in a 4-2 win at Tampa and then had a goal and an assist in a 4-0 win over Georgia Southwestern. The two-time PBC Player of the Year now has 186 career points, passing Clayton State's Olaitan Yusuf for the all-time conference lead.

Burton is currently ranked second in NCAA Division II in points per game, fourth in goals per game and fifth in points per game. She is five goals shy of the all-time PBC goal record of 83 and five assists shy of the all-time PBC assist record of 35.

The PBC weekly honor is the 12th of Burton's career, the most weekly honors earned by a Peach Belt student-athlete, regardless of sport.

Burton and the No. 18-ranked Pirates return to action on Wednesday, September 30, with a 6:00 p.m. PBC match at USC Aiken.
