When multiple highlights  haven’t occurred in at least eight years, it should come as no surprise when Northwestern State takes home multiple weekly Southland Conference soccer honors.

Following a 7-0 rout Sunday at Mississippi Valley State in which all seven goals were scored in the first half and no shot attempts were surrendered all game, Demons Emily Gundin (Offensive) and Kate Bouck (Defensive) both earned Southland Conference weekly awards, the league announced Tuesday.

Of the nine weekly awards given out by the conference so far this season, the Demons have earned five of them.

It is the first weekly award for both players.

Gundin scored twice for the first multi-goal game of her collegiate career and added an assist during a stretch of five goals in 6:03 to blow the game open. It is the first time the Demons scored seven goals in either half of a game since 2005.

Bouck led a back line that helped the Demons post their second shutout in three games. In this game, NSU held MVSU without a shot for the entire game and didn’t even allow the Devilettes to maintain sustained possession or move into NSU territory for much of the game.

It is the first time the Demons didn’t allow a shot for the entire game since their 2018 victory over LSU-Alexandria.

If that wasn’t enough, Bouck also chipped in offensively, scoring her first collegiate goal during the first half scoring onslaught.

The team is back in action Thursday when it hosts Grambling, the start of a two-game home weekend for NSU.
