Gillespie came up clutch with two goals and eight shots overall in two wins for UAH over the week. In the Chargers’ first match of the week against Valdosta State, the junior knocked in her second goal of the season in the 88th-minute, which would prove to be the game-winner. She didn’t stop there as UAH was able to hold on to a 3-2 victory against Auburn Montgomery in part due to an 84th-minute strike by Gillespie that found the back of the net, her third of the year.
