TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – After earning two clean sheets en route to being recognized as the Southern Conference Championship Most Outstanding Player last week, Mercer goalkeeper Jeremy Booth was named to College Soccer News’ National Team of the Week.

Booth anchored a Mercer defense that shut out Wofford 2-0 in the SoCon semifinals and provided late heroics as the Bears defeated top-seeded ETSU in a penalty shootout in the title match Saturday. The redshirt junior held the Buccaneers scoreless through regulation and overtime before coming up with a key save on ETSU’s second penalty kick attempt, setting up the Bears’ eventual title-clinching score by Max Poore.

Booth was the lone goalkeeper on the 13-man team selected by College Soccer News.

The Bears (13-6-1) also received votes in the website’s final Top 30 National Poll of the regular season, which was released Sunday. Mercer received the SoCon’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament with the conference championship victory.
