Paul, Koopman Sweep MAC Weekly Awards

CLEVELAND – App State sophomores Kassie Paul and Florine Koopman were named MAC players of the week, the conference announced Tuesday.
 
It is the first time in program history that the Mountaineers sweep three weeks of player awards.
 
Paul receives Offensive Player of the Week and Koopman receives Defensive Player of the Week following a shutout win over Queens last Friday, and a championship-clenching win against James Madison last Sunday.
 
Paul scored two pivotal goals against James Madison, her second coming after evading the JMU goalkeeper and taking advantage of an exposed goal. She finished with an 100% shot percentage for the weekend, finding the back of the cage on both of her shots on goal.
 
Koopman played great over the weekend, recording a goal and an assist against both Queens and James Madison. Her fifth goal of the season came in last Sunday's matchup, scoring the game-winning goal to earn the title of co-champs. She as all over the field, creating scoring chances while sprinting back on breaks to help hold Queens to one shot and JMU to seven.
 
It is the second time this season Koopman has been named player of the week, earning offensive player of the week in the third week of the season.
 
The Mountaineers will travel to Oxford, Ohio to play in the MAC Tournament. App State will play on Thursday against the winner of Game 2 of the tournament.
