JACKSONVILLE, Fla.- Following a week in which she was a part of four of the five goals scored for the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles, sophomore forward
Keira Morgan has been named the ASUN Player of the Week as announced by the league on Monday.
Â
Morgan's big week started on Thursday when she recorded primary assists on both of the Eagles' goals in a 2-1 win in a battle for first place in the ASUN standings against North Florida. Her first helper came just 1:05 into the contest when she flicked a header onto
Taylor Latini for a goal to give FGCU a quick lead against the Ospreys. Her second came 2:01 into the second half when she threaded a pass across for
Kaitlin Gabelman for an easy tap in goal to put the Eagles up 2-0. Her big week continued on Sunday against Jacksonville when she won a race to the ball for an open net goal in the 17
th minute to give FGCU an early lead against the Dolphins. She scored her second of the game 2:15 into the second half when
Kate Friday got her in and she beat the keeper one on one to put the Eagles up 2-1 before ultimately going on to win 3-2.
Â
After starting the season as a reserve, Morgan has burst onto the scene as of late, currently leading the ASUN with six assists on the year while sitting third in the league in points with 12.
Â
Morgan is the third different FGCU player to earn ASUN Player of the Week honors this season and is the sixth different Eagle overall to pick up ASUN weekly honors.
Â
Morgan and the first place Eagles will be back in action on Sunday, October 18
th when they wrap up their home slate with a Senior Day battle against Stetson beginning at 1 p.m..
