Ivory Coast Forward Jocy Koffi Shines in Providence College Soccer

Two Weekly Honors Highlight Early Season Impact

Jocy Koffi, a sophomore forward from Ivory Coast, has quickly become a cornerstone of the Providence College women's soccer program, blending technical flair with relentless work ethic.

A Rookie's Rapid Rise

Her recent performances earned her a second BIG EAST Weekly Honor, underscoring a rapid ascent that began with a game‑tying strike against Rutgers that forced a 3‑3 draw.

In just two outings she recorded three goals, including her first collegiate multi‑goal game and the decisive equaliser in the 86th minute that sparked excitement among the Friars.

The accolade follows her Rookie‑of‑the‑Week award after a 2‑1 victory over Stonehill on August 27, a match in which she opened the scoring with an Olimpico that showcased her precision from set pieces.

Statistically, Koffi tops the BIG EAST with 5.33 shots per game and ranks among the nation’s elite with 2.83 shots on goal per game, while her five career goals place her 13th nationally in the scoring charts.

The Friars are set to test their momentum on September 6 when they travel to face Boston University, a match that will be streamed live on ESPN+ and could further cement Koffi’s early‑season impact.
