Duncan Named GSC Player of the Week

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Shakira Duncan, the leading scorer on the No. 2 University of West Florida women’s soccer team, was tabbed as this week’s Gulf South Conference Player of the Week as announced Tuesday afternoon. Duncan, earning her first career GSC laurel, added goals in all three matches last week to bring her season total to 11.

On the week Duncan fired off nine total shots with four coming on frame and three goals scored. She marked a goal in each of the three matches this week including two game winners. On the road down in south Florida she tallied the first goal in the Argos 2-0 shutout over Barry and then netted the Argo’s second goal in a 3-1 win over nova Southeastern. Thus far, the junior transfer from Darton College has netted 11 goals while assisting on five others for a team high 27 points. She has now scored at least one goal in each of the Argos’ first nine games.

This weekend the Lady Argos will open up conference play at home against Ouachita Baptist and Harding. On Friday evening the women will look to improve on their perfect 10-0-0 record against the Tigers at 5pm CT before squaring off with Harding at 12:30pm CT on Sunday afternoon.
