STATESBORO, Ga. – July 2, 2024 – South Georgia Tormenta FC’s W League team has announced four nominees for the June Tormenta FC W League Player of the Month award. Fans have their chance to vote using the Tormenta FC app, which can be downloaded here.
Smith Cathey, Courtney Chochol, Briana Eads, and Elis Nemtsov are up for the honor for their June form.
Player of the Month Nominees:
Smith Cathey, Midfielder: In June, Cathey played a more prominent role for South Georgia in the midfield, netting two goals for the Ibises. The Georgia Southern midfielder also played an integral role in connecting the Tormenta FC backline to its attack with her ability to carry the ball and play line-breaking passes.
Courtney Chochol, Forward: Chochol scored a team-leading seven goals during June. The Quinnipiac University regularly started central for South Georgia but found herself often playing wide as a creative outlet for the Ibises. One instance included Chochol assisting Carlyn Presley’s game-winning goal against Wake FC.
Briana Eads, Defender: The North Alabama defender was a rock at the back for South Georgia during June, contributing the four clean sheets. Eads also found the back of the net twice, scoring the game-winning goal on June 2, as well as the final goal of the season on June 30.
Elis Nemtsov, Midfielder: The South Georgia winger netted four goals in June, bringing her tally for the season to seven goals. Nemtsov consistently pushed the ball down the wings for South Georgia, taking on defenders herself or playing one-twos with her midfield partners.
