Scargill Named MEC Defensive Player of the Week

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. – Junior goalkeeper Nathan Scargill of the Concord University men's soccer team has been voted as the Mountain East Conference Defensive Player of the Week, presented by The Health Plan, the conference office announced Monday afternoon.

Scargill, a native of Windsor, England, earns the honor after helping the Mountain Lions to two wins with his play between the pipes. He made eight saves and only allowed one goal in victories over Wheeling and Frostburg State.

Against Wheeling, Scargill assisted on Concord's first goal off a goal kick as he set up sophomore forward Ignacio Alvarez Maina. It was the first career assist for Scargill. He made three saves in the 4-1 win, including stopping a Wheeling penalty kick early in the second half.

At Frostburg State, Scargill stood tall by making five saves in Concord's 2-0 win. It was Scargill's third shutout of the year. He faced 18 total shots in the game. Meanwhile in the win, the Mountain Lions extended their lead on second place to seven points.

Charleston's Jack Kay was selected the MEC Offensive Player of the Week.

The Mountain Lions host Point Park 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in an MEC game.
