Anyssa Dagnino Named Subway Student-Athlete of the Week

LAS VEGAS, N.M. – The Las Vegas, New Mexico, area Subway® restaurants and Manger Regina Denardo is pleased to announce that soccer sophomore Anyssa Dagnino has been named the Subway Eat Fresh Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of Sept. 15.
 
Dagnino helped the Cowgirls soccer team (3-1) not only pick up two pivotal region wins, but helped Highlands record a pair of shutouts in the first home-opening weekend. She made the most of her three shots in those two combined games, finding the back of the net twice.
 
With West Texas A&M and Highlands deadlocked in a scoreless battle Thursday (Sept. 11), Dagnino scored what proved to be the game winner in the 71st minute. She followed that up Saturday (Sept. 13) with the second score of the game en route to a Highlands 4-0 win over Eastern New Mexico. Dagnino has scored in every game in which a Highlands player has scored and leads the team with three goals.
 
New for the 2014-2015 school year, a Subway® Student-Athlete of the Week will be chosen every week for the athletic year. Every student-athlete chosen for the weekly award will be eligible to win the Subway Eat Fresh® Student-Athlete of the Year award following the 2014-2015 academic year. While the weekly award will be based on athletic prowess, the yearly award will be bestowed upon an athlete based on success not only on the playing field, but also in the classroom and community involvement.
