ROCK HILL, S.C. - Mars Hill senior midfielder Alex Mullen has been named the AstroTurf South Atlantic Conference Men's Soccer Player of the Week, league officials announced earlier this afternoon. Mullen claims the weekly honor for the first time this season and the third time in his career.
"This is a well-deserved honor for Alex," head coach Gary Hamel said. "I hope he's able to finish his senior season with a win this Friday."
The Adelaide, Australia, native scored three goals and assisted on two others in a pair of Lion victories last week. Mullen played a role each of Mars Hill's four goals in a 4-1 win at Carson-Newman on Wednesday, scoring the second and third goals of the match while assisting the first and fourth goals. On Saturday, Mullen netted the winning goal in double overtime as part of a come-from-behind 2-1 victory at Brevard.
Mullen and the Lions will celebrate Senior Night against Catawba on Friday at 7:30 p.m.
