Mount Olive's Gaypia Named Conference Carolinas Men's Soccer Player of the Week
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Mount Olive forward Cooper Gaypia has been named the Conference Carolinas Men's Soccer Player of the Week for matches played Sept. 28 - Oct. 4, the conference announced today.
A junior forward from Monrovia, Liberia, Gaypia had a historic week for the Trojans, scoring four goals and leading them to a 2-0 record. The striker got his week started with a 3-1 win on September 30 against Queens (N.C.). Gaypia netted all three Trojan goals in the win over the Royals, which tied a school record for goals in a match and marked the first Mount Olive hat-trick in nearly a decade. As an encore, Gaypia would add another goal in Mount Olive's 2-0 victory over King on October 4.
Gaypia currently ranks third in both points (17) and goals (8) in the Conference Carolinas statistical standings.
Also nominated for Men's Soccer Player of the Week: Luis Calderon (King), Doug Cordi (North Greenville) and Nathan Regis (Pfeiffer).
