Lee Middleton Selected As ECC Men's Soccer Defensive Player Of The Week
Scored Game-Winning Goal And Helped UB To 2-0 Blanking Of #18 Mercy
Central Islip, N.Y.-University of Bridgeport defender Lee Middleton (Grad. Student, Newcastle, England) has been selected as the East Coast Conference Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week for his top-notch play in matches that took place from September 22 through 29, 2013.
Middleton was outstanding as he helped the Purple Knights pick up their first win of the 2013 season with a 2-0 home triumph over No. 18 Mercy College on Saturday evening in UB's only action last week. Lee scored the game-winning goal just 1:59 into the match, and he also helped the Bridgeport defense limited the high-scoring Mavericks to only six shots on the night as the Purple Knights picked up the shutout.
This week, Middleton and his teammates hit the road for a pair of ECC contests, as they travel to St. Thomas Aquinas on Wednesday and Molloy on Saturday.
