MILWAUKEE – Carson Pridie of the Milwaukee men's soccer team has been named the Horizon League Under Armour Defensive Player of the Week, the league office announced this afternoon.
Pridie came through with six saves in the big 2-1 victory over Green Bay, helping the Panthers to the victory and the "Chancellor's Cup".
The decision turned even bigger shortly after the match was over, as the win delivered the regular-season title to the Panthers for the first time since 2004.
Pridie now leads the Horizon League in GAA (0.62), save percentage (.893), and saves per game (5.15). In addition, he leads the NCAA in save percentage and is seventh in the nation in goals-against average.
The award is the second of Pridie's career and also the second for the team this season.
