By Mike Anderson, NKU Sports Information INDIANAPOLIS - Freshman striker Steven Beattie has been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Player of the Week in men’s soccer, the league office announced Monday. Beattie, a native of Dublin, Ireland, scored four goals in two games overt the weekend to lead NKU to a pair of wins. Beattie scored three goals during an 8-2 victory over Ashland on Friday. Two days later, the freshman netted the only goal in a 1-0 win over Bellarmine. Beattie now has five goals, which ties him with Tony Ray and Braden Bishop for the team lead in that category. Beattie is the first member of the Norse to be named GLVC Player of the Week this season. The last NKU player to earn the distinction was Chris Thompson on Sept. 25, 2006. NKU (8-0, 3-0 GLVC), ranked No. 2 in the NCAA Division II national poll, will return to GLVC action this weekend, hitting the road to take on Missouri-Rolla on Friday before facing Missouri-St. Louis on Sunday. |
