Cooney Named Jefferson Athlete of the Week
Keely Cooney Named Jefferson Community College Athlete of the Week
Watertown, NY— Sophomore goalie, Keely Cooney, of the Jefferson Community College (JCC) women’s soccer team was named JCC athlete of the week for the week ending October 13, 2024.
Keely, a 2023 graduate of Immaculate Heart Central, is majoring in Humanities and Social Sciences at Jefferson. This past week, Cooney has put in an inspired performance in the Cannoneers most recent match against the Lazers. Nationally ranked Onondaga put the Lady Cannoneers under siege totaling over 30 shots, but only 3 of them could get past Keely. She was a wall in the goal for Jefferson saving almost everything that came her way, and when OCC got a penalty kick late in the match, she managed to keep it out as well. Her leadership, determination, and skill in goal kept the scoreline respectable and has earned her the status Player of the Match and now Jefferson Athlete of the Week.
