Gillett, a junior at Lodi High, also had two assists.

Favorite sport: Soccer. "I've been playing since I was little and I looked up to my sister (Stephanie)."

Stephanie Gillett played collegiately at Simpson College in Redding.

Favorite athlete: Lodi native Patrick Ianni, who plays for Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo and is a member of the U.S. Olympic team.

"He's a local athlete who got really far," Gillett said.

Favorite hobbies: Playing soccer, swimming and going to the beach, said Gillett, who visited Huntington Beach in Southern California this summer.

Favorite subject: Math. "I like the challenge of solving problmes," Gillett said.

Would like to meet: Chuy Bravo, the assistant to host comedian Chelsea Handler on the late-night television show "Chelsea Lately."

"He's cute," Gillett said of Bravo.

Crowning achievement: Gillett, who moved to forward from defender, said she's proud that she made a smooth transition, highlighted by her breakout offensive performance this past weekend.

"Putting the ball in the net is definitely a lot more fun than blocking it," Gillett said.

The Athlete of the Week is selected by the News-Sentinel sports staff. Nominations are gladly accpeted. Gillett will receive a T-shirt courtesy of Lodi Sporting Goods for being selected.
