Charleston sophomore Faith Slimmer, Monmouth sophomore Cassie Coster, and William & Mary freshman Ivey Crain have been selected as Colonial Athletic Association weekly award recipients in women’s soccer for their performances over the past week.
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Faith Slimmer, Charleston
Sophomore | Forward | Petersburg, N.J. / Ocean City
Slimmer was one of six goal scorers for Charleston as the Cougars opened 2022 with back-to-back 3-0 victories over Alabama A&M and Coastal Carolina. The sophomore from South Jersey assisted on three of the other five Charleston goals on the weekend to help the Cougars to a +6 scoring margin through two contests – the best mark in program history.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Cassie Coster, Monmouth
Sophomore | Goalkeeper | Poughquag, N.Y. / Arlington
Coster made an immediate impact in her first weekend in a Monmouth uniform and the Hawks’ first two contests as a CAA member. The sophomore from New York played all 180 minutes in goal for the Hawks and produced two clean sheets in 3-0 wins over Lehigh and UAlbany. Coster stopped all nine shots on goal, all of which came in Sunday’s victory over the Great Danes.
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Ivey Crain, William & Mary
Freshman | Forward | Milton, Ga. / Pinecrest Academy
Crain struck twice in 86 seconds as part of William & Mary’s three-goal first half on Thursday against Virginia Tech. The freshman from Georgia gave the Tribe a 3-2 lead with the pair of tallies and W&M led the visitors from the ACC for 53 minutes despite the Hokies’ 24-7 shot advantage in the contest.
