Charlotte, NC – Redshirt senior defender Luke Waechter was named Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week for his performances for the Charlotte 49ers nationally-ranked men's soccer team last week. For the second time this season the 49ers swept the Conference USA weekly awards as Brandt Bronico was named Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week.
Waechter played all 200 minutes in Charlotte's two games last week. He anchored a defense that recorded back-to-back shutouts while limiting the 49ers two opponents (#23 Virginia Tech and UAB) to just nine shots on goal in the two games.
