SPARTANBURG, S.C. ? Wofford goalkeeper Joey Taylor has been named Southern Conference Men’s Soccer Player of the Week following a standout performance at both ends of the field last week.

The junior from Spring, Texas registered two victories in goal, helping Wofford claim the South Carolina/Tennessee Challenge championship. Taylor made seven saves in a 4-1 win over Lipscomb Friday, and he earned his sixth shutout of the season on Sunday afternoon, stopping seven shots in a 1-0 win against Belmont. In addition to his efforts in goal, Taylor also provided the game-winning score against Belmont when he converted a penalty kick in the 68^th minute to register his second goal of the season.

Wofford enters the upcoming Southern Conference Men’s Soccer Championship as the eighth seed and will travel to face top-seeded Furman Saturday night at 6:00 p.m. in Greenville, S.C.

Other top performers this week include College of Charleston forward Kareem Yearwood and UNC Greensboro forward Thomas Campbell.
