University of Memphis junior forward Dayton O'Brien was named to College Soccer News National Team of the Week on Monday.
The Memphis native who prepped at Evangelical Christian is the first Memphis player to ever be tabbed by College Soccer News' and only the second player ever to be named to a national team of the week. Memphis women's head coach Brooks Monaghan was named to the national team of the week by Soccer America in 1993.
O'Brien contributed three assists in the Tigers' 5-1 win over Evansville, the first time Memphis has ever beaten the Purple Aces. He then scored the game-winning goal and added two more assists in a 3-1 conference victory over Charlotte. O'Brien aided in six of the Tigers' eight goals on the week.
The five assists on the week equals the Preseason All-Conference USA selection's season totals from 2003. O'Brien leads the Tigers with three goals and seven assists for 13 points. He has two game-winning goals on the season, helping Memphis (5-2-0, 1-0-0) get off to its best start since 1993.
