BOCA RATON, Fla. – Hagay Jalon of the Florida Atlantic University men's soccer team has been named Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.
Jalon and the Owls started out the 2019 season on a strong note with a 1-0 shutout of No. 17 James Madison on Friday. Jalon wasn't untested in the match, making five saves for the clean sheet. It was the redshirt senior's third shutout of his career and his first against a ranked opponent.
His blanking of the Dukes offense helped the Owls start the season 1-0 for the first time since 2011 and it was the first shutout to start the season since 2002.
Hagay's Player of the Week nod is the first weekly award for FAU men's soccer since the 2013 season, the first season for the Owls in C-USA.
FAU men's soccer will face another strong test this week when No. 14 Louisville comes to town. The Owls and the Cards will face off on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the FAU Soccer Stadium following the women's match against Dartmouth. Admission for both matches is free.
