Emory University freshman Kelly Costopoulos was named the University Athletic Association’s (UAA) Offensive Player of the Week for women’s soccer, after scoring two goals and assisting on another during three games last week.

Costopoulos scored both of the goals during Emory’s 2-0 win over 23^rd-ranked Brandeis University on Sunday afternoon.  On Friday, the midfielder picked up her first collegiate helper, assisting on the game-winning goal during the Eagles’ 2-0 win over New York University. 

During her inaugural campaign, Costopoulos has scored three goals and assisted on another for seven points, the sixth-best total on the team, and the second-most among Emory freshmen. She becomes the fourth Eagle to be honored as the UAA Athlete of the Week for women’s soccer this season, joining Kaele Leonard (September 7^th), Lee Bachouros (September 20^th) and Clare Mullins (September 27^th), who all won the award for their defensive efforts.

Costopoulos’ play has helped the eighth-ranked Eagles to an 11-1-2 record, including a 2-1-1 mark in UAA games.  Emory will return to action on Saturday, hosting Berry College at 6:00 PM.
