GREELEY, Colo. – The University of Northern Colorado is proud to announce Lexi Tuite, a standout player on the Women's Soccer Team, as the Luna's Taco student-Athlete of the Month for August 2025.
Through the first five games of the season, Tuite has proven to be a dominant force on the field, tallying three goals, including a game-winning goal that secured a crucial victory for the Bears over Oral Roberts in a neutral location match. With this performance, she currently ranks No. 2 in the Big Sky Conference for total goals, establishing herself as one of the most dangerous offensive threats in the league.
Beyond the goals, Tuite has also demonstrated a consistent attacking presence, ranking in the top 10 in the conference for shots, shots on goal, and total points. Her versatility, work ethic, and leadership have played a major role in the Bears' strong start to the season.
Tuite will aim to help lead Northern Colorado to a great season and a deep run in the conference tournament, with hopes of returning to the NCAA Tournament later this fall.
Congratulations to Lexi Tuite, Northern Colorado Student-Athlete of the Month!
