Coker midfielder Christian Provenzano was named the offensive player of the week, while Newberry defender Sam Ottley was named defensive player of the week.
Provenzano, a junior from Bonassola, Italy, helped the Cobras to a 2-0 record last week, extending their winning streak to five matches. He finished the week with four goals and two assists for 10 points. He scored a pair of goals in Coker's 4-1 win over Anderson and added two goals, including the game-winner, along with two assists in the Cobras' 4-0 victory over Catawba.
