Senior defender Nicky Kit (Livermore, Calif./Granada H.S.) is the CollegeSoccer360.com Primetime Player of the Week after her game-winning goal Friday at No. 17 South Carolina. She also was named the Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Week on Monday.
Kit’s 20-yard strike off a free kick in the final 10 seconds of the opening half was the decisive goal of the match to decide the 2010 SEC title between the league’s top two teams. The left-back’s shot hit the near post and kicked in, which gave Florida a 1-0 win at South Carolina. It was her second goal of the season, fourth of her career and her first game-winner. She has appeared in every match this season with 14 starts.
