Karen Barry and Jaslyn Gott of Mount Olive Named Women’s Soccer Players of the Week
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Karen Barry and Jaslyn Gott of Mount Olive have earned the weekly honors in Conference Carolinas women’s soccer for the week ending Oct. 9.
Barry earned Offensive Player of the Week honors while Gott took home Defensive Player of the Week accolades.
A sophomore defender from Clinton Township, Michigan, Barry registered six points on three free-kick goals, as the Trojans secured a pair of conference shutouts last week. She scored the game-winner on a free-kick in the 85th minute Wednesday night to earn a 1-0 victory over regionally-ranked UNC Pembroke who was previously unbeaten in league play. On Saturday, Barry delivered a two-goal performance as the free-kick specialist scored twice in the second half in the 51st and 63rd minutes in a 3-0 win versus King. With the victories, the Trojans improved to 9-4 this season behind a 7-1 mark in league play.
A native of Swartz Creek, Michigan, Gott played a key defensive role in 170 minutes on the backline for the Trojans in a pair of conference shutouts last week. The 5-foot-8 senior led the Mount Olive defense that held the top offense in the conference to just two shots on goal in the win over UNC Pembroke. On Saturday, Gott and the Trojans held the Tornado to just two chances on goal. With the wins, Mount Olive has totaled four shutouts this season.
