Ali Amrozowicz, a junior forward for the GCSU women’s soccer team, was honored as the Peach Belt Conference’s Player of the Week for women’s soccer the week of Oct. 6. Originally from Dacula, Ga., Amrozowicz’s standout performance came during a match against Christian Brothers University, where she scored three goals in just 21 minutes, leading her team to a 4-1 victory. 

Amroowicz’s hat trick marked the first for the Bobcat Soccer team since October 2019 and is one of only nine recorded in the PBC this season. Currently, Amrozowicz ranks second in the PBC for shots on goal per match, and she is tied for seventh in assists, solidifying her status as one of the conference’s top players. 

“My performance against Christian Brothers was one I will remember forever,” Amrozowicz said. “No player ever really goes into a game thinking they will get a hat trick. It’s just one of those things where everything just seemed to click and go the right way. We work so hard towards creating opportunities to go to goal, and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without my teammates doing their jobs also.”

In addition to her PBC recognition, Amrozowicz was also named Zaxby’s Player of the Week, reflecting her impact on the field. 

Morgan Amrozowicz, her sister, is also on the team. 

“I attribute a lot of my success to my sister,” Ali Amrozowicz said. “She is one of the main reasons I decided to come back and play again, and the fact I get to play alongside her as we both finish our soccer careers is one of the most wholesome parts of this season.”

Ali Amrozowicz’s journey began at home, where she developed her skills through years of practice in competitive leagues. At GCSU, she has refined her game with the support of her coaches and teammates, leading to her impressive performances this season.

“Ali’s soccer journey is different from most people’s,” Morgan Amrozowicz siad. “She played club up until college and committed to play soccer at Mercer. She then tore her ACL in a scrimmage while in High School which set her back, especially with COVID hitting […] I was beyond excited to play with her again but also so proud of her for deciding to play because she has been a great addition to our team.” 

Morgan Amrozowicz was glad to see her sister make a comeback in such an explosive way

“As soon as she scored that first goal, I saw the old Ali that I knew from day one of playing soccer with her,” Morgan Amrozowicz said. “Then after her first goal came a second and after that came a third. It was amazing seeing her produce goals just like she did back then.” 

Ali Amrozowicz and the GCSU women’s soccer team will be back in action on Wednesday, Oct. 23 at Albany State University.
