BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Dernelle Mascall and Sheka Codner were named the GSC Offensive and Defensive players of the week this past week. They become the sixth and seventh different Argos to earn player of the week honors this season for women's soccer. Previously, Brandi Adams (Sr. / Gulf Breeze, Fla.) and Jodi Galucci (So. / Stuart, Fla.) were honored as offensive players of the week, while Marie Hastings (Sr. / Gainesville, Fla.) and Linda Ganehed (Fr. / Sweden) each won a defensive player of the week honor. In addition, goalkeeper Courtney Jones (So. / Panama City, Fla.) has won defender of the week two separate times this season.

Forward Dernelle Mascall (Basse terre, Moruga, Trinidad) earned her first career GSC Player of the Week award after recording her third hat-trick of the season this past weekend. Mascall broke West Florida's single-season goal record (22) with four in two matches while adding two assists. She was a part of every Argo goal in the two contests. The 5-8 swift footed Sophomore netted all three goals against Montevallo Friday night, clinching the top spot for UWF in the upcoming GSC Tournament, 3-0. In Sunday's match with Thomas (Ga.), Mascall netted a goal and assisted on two more as UWF closed out the regular season with a 3-0 win.

Defender Sheka Codner (Dover, Del.) claimed her first GSC Defender of the Week honor after playing all 180 minutes for West Florida over the weekend, as the Argos blanked two opponents by a pair of 3-0 scores. The 5-5 Junior anchored a defense that allowed Montevallo just two shots on goal and held Thomas (Ga.) to only one total shot. The 3-0 victory over the Lady Falcons clinched the top seed in the GSC Tournament for UWF. Amazingly, Codner and her defensive companions have not allowed a goal in the last 790 minutes of play.
