Grand Canyon women's soccer earned its second weekly WAC honor of the season with fifth-year forward
Camryn Larson being named WAC Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.
Â
Larson did it all for the Lopes last weekend, tallying a goal and an assist in a 3-0 Friday win at Northern Arizona before scoring the game-winning goal in the 105th minute against UNLV at home on Sunday.
Â
Larson's heroics helped move GCU to 5-1 as the team extends its best start in program history.
Â
Against NAU, Larson scored the first of three Lopes second-half goals in the 59th minute. Fellow fifth-year defender
Mikaela McGee crossed a ball into the box from the right side and Larson headed it past the NAU goalkeeper. Larson wrapped up her performance by assisting on a goal by
Jaycee Iranshad in the 85th minute.
Â
On Sunday, Larson and the Lopes led 1-0 with 10 minutes remaining in regulation until UNLV tied the game on a free kick just outside the penalty box. In the second overtime period, senior
Noah Johnson played a through ball which found Larson, who finished the right-footed shot just out of the reach of the oncoming UNLV goalie.
Â
The two goals and five points for Larson move her to third on the GCU Division I-era career leader lists with 16 goals and 36 points.
Â
The Lopes will be back in action this week hosting the GCU Tournament with matches against Denver on Thursday and New Mexico on Saturday. Both matches will start at 8 p.m. at GCU Stadium.
