ATLANTA – For the second time in his career, sophomore
O'Vonte Mullings was named the ASUN Player of the Week, the league announced Monday afternoon.
Mullings (Toronto, Ontario/Northview Heights Secondary HS) has started all 13 games thus far for the Green and Blue. Against #15 FIU last Tuesday night, the Ontario native scored once while tallying again this past Saturday night versus Jacksonville as the Eagles came away with a 4-2 victory. Mullings currently leads the Eagles in points (12) and in goals (five). Both categories rank second in the ASUN.
"O'Vonte has become a much more complete player this year and has dialed into ways to being consistent in training and in recent matches," said head coach
Jesse Cormier. "I think a good effective attacking player always gives his team hope and a chance to win any and all games. He optimizes this team's faith and belief."
The Eagles are tied for second with UNF (3-5-2, 2-1-1 ASUN) in the conference standings with seven points. Stetson (7-5-1, 3-0-1) sits atop the league with 10 points.
Up Next
The Eagles are off until this Saturday, Oct. 19 where they will face Liberty (4-9-0, 0-3-0 ASUN) on the road. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m.
