Alvaro Zamora of Francis Marion and Toby Sims of Chowan Collect Men’s Soccer Weekly Honors
GREENVILLE, S.C. - Alvaro Zamora of Francis Marion and Toby Sims of Chowan have been chosen as the weekly award winners for Conference Carolinas men’s soccer for the week ending Oct. 24.
Zamora collected Offensive Player of the Week honors, while Sims earned his fourth weekly honor from the league and his third Defensive Player of the Week honor.
A junior forward from Madrid, Spain, Zamora finished with five points last week for Francis Marion on two goals and an assist. In Francis Marion’s huge 3-2 overtime win over Mount Olive on Tuesday, Oct. 19, Zamora forced overtime when his 17-yard shot curled into the back of the net with only 1:34 left in regulation. Zamora had also assisted earlier in the game when he found Kiko Lemke for the opening goal of the match just 40 seconds into the contest. Zamora’s second goal of the week came on a left-footed shot from 19 yards out that went just inside the near post in Francis Marion's 2-0 win over North Greenville on Saturday, Oct. 23. Zamora leads Francis Marion and is tied for fifth in Conference Carolinas with seven goals on the season.
A graduate student from Tuxford, England, Sims continued his fantastic final season in a Chowan uniform last week by leading the Hawks to two shutout victories with a 1-0 win over Barton and a 3-0 victory over Erskine. Sims logged all 180 minutes in the two matches from his spot defensively while also collecting two assists in the road win over Erskine on Saturday, Oct. 23. Despite being a defender, Sims has 10 goals and three assists on the season and his 23 points on the season are second-most in all of Conference Carolinas. His 10 goals are second-best in Conference Carolinas presently.
