DURHAM – The honors keep rolling in for Duke women's soccer sophomore
Michelle Cooper. On Wednesday, Cooper was named the United Soccer Coaches Division I Player of the Week.
A day earlier, Cooper was selected the TopDrawerSoccer and College Soccer News National Player of the Week, while also earning ACC Offensive Player of the Week honors. Â
Cooper registered four goals and two assists for 10 points as fifth-ranked Duke defeated Boston College (3-0) and No. 22 NC State (6-0). On the road at NC State on Sunday, Cooper opened the scoring in the sixth minute with a blast from 30 yards, then added a second goal just 45 seconds into the second half to give the Blue Devils a 3-0 lead against the Wolfpack. She added two assists in the second half as well to give her a career-high six points. She took only three shots and scored two goals, including the game winner on Sunday.
A product of Clarkston, Mich., Cooper opened the week with two goals in a 3-0 victory over Boston College. It marked the fifth multi-goal performance of her short career and first in back-to-back contests. Cooper owns an ACC-best nine goals, five assists and an ACC-leading 23 points on the season. Her 2.56 points per game ranks fifth nationally. Â
The fourth-ranked Blue Devils are slated to host No. 2 Virginia on Friday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m., live on ACC Network Extra.
