UNCG?s Thomas named SoCon Player of the Week

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – UNCG forward Damieon Thomas has been named the Southern Conference men’s soccer player of the week for all competition Sept. 7-13. The selection is made by the league office.

Thomas scored goals in each of the Spartans’ games last week. The junior from St. Catherine, Jamaica, netted UNCG’s first goal in a 3-3 draw at South Carolina on Tuesday, scoring in the 58th minute to get the Spartans on the board and within a goal at 2-1.

Thomas scored again in a 2-0 win over Texas Rio Grande Valley on Friday, giving UNCG an insurance goal in the 80th minute to put the game away.

The weekly award is the first for Thomas, who is in his first season at UNCG after transferring from Georgia Military College.

UNCG (3-1-1) hosts North Florida on Friday and Jacksonville on Sunday in a pair of matches that can be seen on the SoCon Digital Network.

Also nominated: Fletcher Ekern (ETSU), Jeremy Booth (Mercer) and Nestor Jaramillo (Wofford).
