SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Davidson's Charlie Reiter has been named the Southern Conference Men's Soccer Player of the Week for all games played September 29-October 5. Reiter helped the Wildcats pick up two conference wins last week as Davidson knocked off College of Charleston (3-2 OT) and Georgia Southern (3-0).
After falling behind College of Charleston, 2-0, Reiter helped spark the Wildcats' comeback. His corner kick was headed in by Allen Page to put Davidson on the board in the 72nd minute. The Westport, Conn., native tallied a goal of his own just 59 seconds later from 20 yards out to tie the match. Reiter then scored in the 24th minute against Georgia Southern to stake the Wildcats to an early 1-0 lead Saturday afternoon.
Reiter leads the conference in points (18) and is tied for the league lead with six assists. He is tied for tenth in the nation, averaging 2.0 points per game and is tied for eighth nationally with 0.67 assists per contest. Reiter has tallied at least one point in eight of nine games this season.
The Wildcats (8-1, 2-0 SoCon) host Duke Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. Davidson will travel to face Elon in a Southern Conference match Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
