High Point, N.C.> Mount Olive’s Lindsey Stanley has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas women’s soccer Player of the Week during week number four in the 2011 season. Stanley became only the third player in Mount Olive College women's soccer history to record hat tricks in back-to-back matches and extended her goal-scoring streak to four consecutive matches to help the regionally eighth-ranked Trojans stretch their unbeaten streak to five and gain a share of the Conference Carolinas lead. Stanley, who ended the previous week by scoring all three goals in Mount Olive's 3-1 conference-opening win over King (Sept. 17), scored three of the match's first four goals in the Trojans' 10-0 win over St. Andrews, marking the Trojans' first double-digit total since 2005. The match also marked the first time in school history that two Trojans recorded hat tricks in the same match as Sarah Porter also scored three goals. Stanley, who added an assist against St. Andrews, also had a goal and assist in Mount Olive's 3-0 road win at Converse to total 10 points on the week. The senior forward from Eastover, NC currently leads the conference in goals and points, and is tied for third in assists. During a three-match stretch, Stanley scored seven of Mount Olive's eight goals. The Trojans currently are 3-0 in league play and 4-1-1 overall.
