MIAMI (Sept. 16, 2019) - Alessandro Campoy was awarded the C-USA Offensive Player of the Week honor following his impressive performance over the weekend, the league office announced on Monday. 

It marks the second time in 2019 that FIU has seen a player selected for the award, as Andrew Booth earned the same recognition after the season's opening weekend.

Campoy and the Panthers defeated FAU in their lone match over the past weekend, as FIU breezed past the Owls by a dominant score of 6-1. The redshirt junior was highly impactful against FAU as he was involved in four of the Panthers' scoring plays. Campoy posted three goals and an assist, which marked a career-high of seven points for the Panther. The hat-trick by Campoy stands as the first from an FIU men's soccer player since Oct. 7, 2017, when former Panther Santiago Patiño accomplished the same feat in a 4-0 victory over Marshall. Campoy's three goals on the season are now tied for the team-lead with freshman Stephen Afrifa. Campoy also leads FIU in total points (8), shots (13), and is tied for most shots-on-goal (7) with Matias Barraza.

Before missing the 2018 season, Campoy was a standout freshman for FIU in 2017 as he tied for second on the team in total points (22). The Haiti native ended the 2017 season with a top-five ranking in almost all C-USA offensive categories, including points, goals (7), points-per-game (1.29), and goals-per-game (0.412). Campoy also led C-USA in assists (8) and assists-per-game (0.471) in 2017. A former C-USA All-Freshman team honoree, Campoy is hoping to pickup where he left off after a productive 2017 campaign and provide FIU with a dynamic play-making threat throughout the 2019 season.
