For the first time this season, the Cowley College women’s soccer team has swept the weekly Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference Division 1 Women’s Soccer Player of the Week honors after Tigers Saki Sanno and Julia Suelly each earned their first award of the year.
Saki Sanno (Cowley) – KJCCC D1 Women's Soccer Player of the Week
Sano helped Cowley to a pair of KJCCC wins last week, netting one goal and one assist across matches against Barton and Dodge City. Opening the week against Barton, Sano broke open the scoring with a second-half goal in the 49th minute that proved to be the game-winner as the Tigers went on to pick up a 2-0 win. Sano added another point to her weekly total three days later against Dodge City, assisting on a second-half goal in the 70th minute that doubled Cowley's lead against the Conquistadors in an eventual 2-0 win. Sano has three goals and two assists across seven games this season, helping Cowley to an unbeaten record heading into October.
Julia Suelly (Cowley) – KJCCC D1 Women's Soccer Goalkeeper of the Week
Suelly posted back-to-back shutouts last week, helping Cowley College remain unbeaten this season as the Tigers picked up 2-0 wins over Barton and Dodge City. Against the Cougars, Suelly turned away the only two shots that Barton put on goal, picking up her fourth-straight shutout. The freshman made it five-straight shutouts three days later against Dodge City as her shutout streak now spans nearly 470 minutes, dating back to September 10th.
