JACKSON KRUEGER OF SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, a junior goalkeeper from San Antonio, Texas, has been named the SCAC Men’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week for games played through Sunday, September 15th.
Krueger stood tall in net for the Pirates, making four big saves and interrupting several other opportunities in Southwestern’s 2-1 overtime victory against Texas Lutheran last Friday night. Krueger has been outstanding to this point in the season currently sitting in the top five of several statistical categories including first in goals allowed (2) and second in goals-against average (0.98).
Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
Junior defender Colin Saum of Austin College had an outstanding week, helping the ‘Roos to a 2-0 record that included a shutout victory over Rhodes. Saum helped solidify a defense that allowed only two goals over the weekend and only one that did not come via a penalty kick. Senior goalkeeper Keller Mochel of Colorado College secured his second shutout of the season with two saves in a 1-0 win over St. Thomas. Sophomore goalkeeper Brandon Coder of Johnson & Wales collected the first win of the season for the Wildcats in goal, making five saves in a 3-1 win against Centenary. Senior defender Carlos Marquez of St. Thomas anchored a defense that allowed just two goals in two games and scored twice in the Celts 3-1 win over Johnson & Wales last Friday. Junior midfielder Quentin Van Der Lee of Trinity led a Tiger defense that held Christopher Newport to no goals and just five shot attempts over the final 43 minutes of the game - despite two red cards that left Trinity playing two men short during that span in a 1-1 draw.
