It's easy to see why Bridget and Shannon picked up the award. The duo were dynamite on the pitch for the Zumwalt South Bulldogs.

The Stewart sisters from Fort Zumwalt South had quite a productive week for the Bulldogs soccer team. So productive, in fact, that it's impossible to split up Bridget and Shannon. The Bulldogs went 3-0 last week with and scored a total 10 goals. The Stewarts combined for eight of the goals. Shannon had a three-game goal scoring streak and put up four goals (one game winner) and one assist.
