LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Louisville men's soccer forward Cooper Olson has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Offensive Player of the Week after recording three goals in a pair of victories over Spalding and Notre Dame, the league announced Tuesday. This marks the freshman's first career weekly honors.
Olson tallied a goal in Louisville's 5-0 shutout of Spalding on Oct. 21, finding the back of the net in the 64th minute to help the Cardinals secure their 11th win of the season.
The freshman followed with a standout performance against Notre Dame on Oct. 25, scoring twice to lead Louisville to a 2-1 victory over the Fighting Irish. Olson opened the scoring in the 20th minute before netting the game-winner in the 84th minute to secure the win and his first career brace.
