NEW YORK – Xavier men's soccer reeled in two BIG EAST weekly honors on Monday after defeating visiting Providence 4-1 on Saturday at XU Soccer Complex. Redshirt sophomore Samson Sergi was named BIG EAST Player of the Week, while redshirt freshman Zach Nelson took home the BIG EAST Freshman of the Week award.

Sergi's two goals in the opening minutes keyed XU's league win over the Friars, while Nelson tied a career-high with six saves as the Musketeers improved to 6-2-2 (2-1 BIG EAST).

An Ashburn, Va. native, Sergi's brace was the first of his college career.
