Center backs take center stage this week following a pair of big soccer wins.

Female Athlete of the Week – Susan Galgano, Soccer

Galgano waited until her 46th collegiate game to score her first goal, and nearly had to wait until at least her 47th. Galgano’s long kick found the back of the net with just 15 seconds left in regulation to give the Mules a 1-0 Centennial Conference road win against Dickinson. She was also part of the defensive effort that kept the Red Devils scoreless – Muhlenberg’s ninth shutout in its last 13 CC games.

Male Athlete of the Week – Jonathan Schauer, Soccer

Schauer led the Muhlenberg defense in a 1-0 defeat of nationally ranked Franklin & Marshall. Playing with little margin for error against a Diplomat squad that had not given up a goal all season, the Mules allowed only three shots on goal, with Schauer winning many balls in the air and stopping several F&M runs with tackles.

Schauer also was named defensive player of the week by the Centennial Conference.
