By Jesse Muñoz/COC Sports Information Director

College of the Canyons student-athletes Cierra Coia (women's golf) and Tyrell Brown (football) have been named the Jersey Mike's COC Athletic Department's Women's & Men's Student-Athletes of the Week for the period running Oct. 28 to Nov. 2. Coia and Brown are the 10th set of honorees for the fall 2024 semester.

Coia ranked second on the team and 12th in the individual standings during the two-day Western State Conference (WSC) championships held Oct. 27-28 at Marshall Canyon Golf Course. 

On day two, the Canyon High School graduate shaved 13 strokes off her opening-round score to finish at 89, making for a two-day total of 191 (102/89). 

That total helped Canyons place third in the tourney's team standings and qualify for the upcoming 3C2A Southern California Championships being played Nov. 10-11 at the Los Serranos Country Club North Course.

Tyrell Brown / Football

Brown had an impactful presence during the No. 12 ranked Cougars' 27-21 home win over Moorpark College on Nov. 2. 

The standout edge rusher finished the game with four total tackles, 1.5 sacks and a crucial interception that helped keep the Raiders at bay. In the fourth quarter, Moorpark drove the ball deep into Cougars' territory behind a pair of long completions. But on first down from the COC seven-yard line the Raiders' quarterback attempted a shovel pass that Brown stepped in front of, extinguishing all hopes of a Moorpark comeback bid. 

Brown, who was also named the Chick-Fil-A of Valencia Player of the Game, leads the Cougars with 3.5 sacks and is tied for third on the team with 30 total tackles, including 17 solo stops.
