Multiple-goal performances in season-opening victories have led Georgia Gwinnett College sophomores Ousmane Fall and Hannah Lorenz to collect the first Continental Athletic Conference Soccer Offensive Player of the Week awards for the 2026 season.

Fall, the male offensive recipient, registered a hat trick in the Grizzlies' 5-1 season-opening victory at SCAD Savannah (Georgia) last Friday. His three goals came across the first 27 minutes of the match as all three of his shots found the back of the net.

The Dakar, Senegal, native earned third-team NAIA All-America and CAC Player and Newcomer of the Year honors during the 2025 season.

Lorenz, the female honoree, was an offensive force with two goals, including the game-winner, and a match-high nine shots against Montreat College (North Carolina) in last Saturday's season opener at home. The two goals matched her career high in a contest. 

The Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada, native picked up where the 2025 season ended, when she scored seven goals across the last five matches.

GGC's No. 5-ranked men's soccer team (1-0-0) is scheduled to play the University of Northwestern Ohio on Thursday, August 27, in Dalton, Georgia, starting at 5 p.m. Meanwhile, the women's soccer team (1-0-0) travels to No. 13 Life University on Wednesday, August 26, in Marietta, Georgia, before hosting No. 9-ranked William Carey University (Mississippi) on Sunday, August 30, at the Grizzly Soccer Complex, starting at 2 p.m.
