For the second consecutive week, the men's soccer team had a player take home a weekly award. This time though it was on the defensive side of the ball as Gavin Morgan was named the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week. This is the seventh edition of the award this season.
Morgan took home the award based on his play against Johnson University and Truett McConnell University. While helping the defense collect two clean sheets in a 6-0 win and a 2-0 win, the junior also scored a goal. The London, England native scored the final goal in the contest against Johnson. With the team's win against Truett McConnell, the team moved into a tie for first place.
This is the first weekly award for Morgan. The next edition will be announced on Monday, Oct. 17.
