GCU forward earns pair of weekly awards after weekend heroics
Grand Canyon senior forward Marleen Schimmer capped off her exceptional weekend with WAC Offensive Player of the Week honors.
Â
Schimmer was also named to the College Soccer News National Player Team of the Week after her four-goal performance against California Baptist and Seattle U.
Â
The Mainz, Germany native recorded her first career hat trick against CBU on Friday in just the first 15 minutes of the match. Part of the 6-1 win, Schimmer scored goals on back-to-back GCU free kicks in the fourth and eighth minutes while finishing off the three-goal performance with a right-footed shot just outside the penalty box seven minutes later.
Â
Against Seattle U, Schimmer was the hero once again scoring the game-winning goal in the 95th minute off a cross from Gianna Gourley. The 2-0 weekend moves GCU to 10-2-1 while remaining unbeaten in WAC play at 3-0-1.
Â
Schimmer now ranks 23rd in the country in goals with eight and 16th in points with 22. As a team GCU is tied for eighth in the NCAA with 34 goals and 12th with 99 points this season.
Â
The Lopes will be back in action on Saturday against New Mexico State at GCU Stadium.
