Online publication College Soccer 360 named UC Irvine junior Courtney "CoCo" Goodson one of its 13 Primetime Performers of the Week after the transfer made a huge impact in her first career start for the Anteaters.

Goodson, a transfer from Texas, saw her first action as an Anteater in the final minute of play during UCI's 2-1 win in the season opener Friday.  Head coach Scott Juniper inserted her into the starting lineup for Sunday's road showdown against No. 14 Cal.  With the Anteaters trailing 2-1, Goodson scored the equalizer on a free kick, bending her shot around the Golden Bear wall with just 1:46 left in regulation.  Goodson played all 110 minutes in the eventual 2-2 double overtime tie, which marked the Anteaters' first non-loss against Cal in nine tries.

Prior to her UCI debut, Goodson produced eight goals and six assists in her two seasons as a Longhorn.  She garnered a spot on the 2008 Big 12 Conference All-Rookie Team.
