BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference announced its final weekly soccer awards of the 2026 season on Monday afternoon, with Tennessee freshman Emerson Moore earning SEC Offensive Player of the Week honors.
The Lynchburg, Virginia, native claims the Lady Vols' first SEC weekly honor of the season after a two-goal performance to lead Tennessee to a 3-1 victory over Oklahoma on Sunday afternoon.
Moore opened the scoring just seven minutes in with a strong left-footed effort from the edge of the penalty area. The opener marked the first goal of her collegiate career. Moore wasted little time doubling the Tennessee advantage and her collegiate tally, adding a second goal in the 43rd minute.
With a first-half brace, she became the first Lady Vol with multiple goals in a match since Kylee Simmons and Kai Tsakiris each netted a pair in the 2026 season opener against Rutgers.
Moore wraps up a freshman regular season in which she appeared in all 16 matches and made 12 starts for Tennessee, the second-most starts among Lady Vol freshmen. In addition to two goals on Sunday, she also registered an assist earlier this season in the Aug. 20 4-0 victory over Milwaukee.
Despite conceding a goal in the second half, the Lady Vols added another goal to re-establish the two-goal advantage a secure a 3-1 victory over the Sooners in the regular season finale.
After narrowly missing out on an SEC Tournament berth, Tennessee will wait until the NCAA Tournament Selection Show, set for Monday, Nov. 16, to see if the season will continue.
