Trio of Tigers earn AAC weekly awards
Apr 05, 2021 | Men's Soccer
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – After scoring both goals in a 2-1, double-overtime win at USF Friday night, Memphis Tigers sophomore midfielder/forward Emanuel Santos has been named the American Athletic Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Week.
Additionally, Tigers junior goalkeeper Parker Lackland and redshirt-sophomore forward/midfielder Ford Hunt earned spots on the conference's Weekly Honor Roll.
Santos scored Memphis' game-winner in the 108th minute to secure the road win at USF, plus the game-tying goal in the 70th minute. He put home the Tigers' 10th corner kick of the match with just minutes remaining to give Memphis the 2-1 win and snap its five-match losing streak.
Lackland and Hunt were key parts of a Memphis defense that allowed a potent USF offense just one goal in 108 minutes. The defense slowed down the Bulls' forwards and midfielders and helped allow time to complete the comeback victory. Lackland finished Friday's match with five saves.
The Tigers (2-6, 2-6 AAC) wrap up the regular season with a pair of home games this week, hosting Temple Tuesday at noon and UCF Friday at 7 p.m.
