The Gazebo Gazette

PERKINSTON (GG) — Last week, Mississippi Gulf Coast’s Alexander Mink got moved back into a more defensive role in last week’s game against Georgia Military.  He proved how vital he is to the No. 14 Bulldogs by scoring a hat trick, which helped him earn MACCC Player of the Week. The award is voted on by conference sports information directors.

The sophomore midfielder from Long Beach totaled four goals during Gulf Coast’s 1-1 week. He earned NJCAA All-American honors as a freshman.

Moving forward, Mississippi Gulf Coast’s Trey Roche has been named the MACCC Player of the Week after a productive week on the pitch.  The freshman forward from Pass Christian had two goals and an assist for the No. 15 Bulldogs. The award was voted on by the conference’s sports information directors.

Roche had a goal and set up another in a 6-0 win over Meridian, and he scored in a 2-1 loss at No. 13 Pearl River.  He’s the third Bulldog to win a weekly conference honor this season.
