The striker scored the first hat trick of the season and also made one assist for her club who romped to an impressive start in the NWFL Premiership.

Gift also scored in Wednesday 5-1 win against visiting Pelican Stars at the Legacy Pitch on Matchday 4.

Gift who received her award before the game against Pelican Stars also praised her teammates for their support.

“This award means a lot to me and my career.

“I am grateful to God and my teammates who gave me the needed support to succeed,” she said.
