NEW ORLEANS - For his stellar weekend, Appalachian State University men's soccer freshman Juan Hernandez was named the Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week, the league office announced on Tuesday.
For the Mountaineers, it's the second time in as many weeks a student-athlete was recognized for their performance on offense, as Daniel Avila was named Co-Offensive Athlete of the Week last Tuesday.
Hernandez garners the honor after scoring a career-high two goals in just the second match of his career. What's even more impressive, is that the freshman played 61 minutes off the bench to help lift App to a 2-1 victory over Central Arkansas after scoring what eventually became
the game-winning knock.
