SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Elon sophomore midfielder Gabe Latigue has been chosen as the Southern Conference men's soccer player of the week for all matches from September 20-26.

Latigue netted back-to-back goals, including the game-winner, in Elon's 4-1 victory over Davidson in the first SoCon game of the season for both teams.

The sophomore's first goal came from 20 yards out and was assisted by Brad Franks, giving the Phoenix a 2-0 first half advantage. After the intermission, Latigue's second tally of the evening came unassisted off a free kick from about 30 yards out.

Latigue now has three goals on the year for the Phoenix, which hosts No. 11 Duke Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Other Nominees: Kees Heemskerk (College of Charleston), Alex Caskey (Davidson), Armin Kinigadner (Wofford).
