Givens was excellent on the pitch last weekend to keep Concordia unbeaten on the season as the Tornados went 1-0-1 on a two-game Virginia road trip.

Senior midfielder Hunter Booth of Centenary scored the Gents’ lone goal in their 1-1 tie against Howard Payne last Friday in the home opener. It marked the second goal of the year for Booth.
