Honored. Women’s soccer defender Gabi Poretto was named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week. Poretto scored the game-winning goal in Kentucky’s upset victory over No. 25 Alabama on Friday. Poretto now leads the team with three game-winning goals in 2025 and currently ranks fourth all-time in the Kentucky Freshman record book, one GWG shy of matching the Kentucky freshman record.
