SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Furman defender Kevin Edelmann has been named the Southern Conference men’s soccer player of the week for all competition from Aug. 25-27 after scoring a game-winning goal against the College of Charleston and leading the Paladins to another victory over Georgia Southern.

The senior, who has seen time at both defender and midfielder, played all 90 minutes against Georgia Southern, helping hold the Eagles scoreless and improve Furman’s record to 2-0 on the year.

Furman travels to Denver, Colorado, on Friday to face the nationally ranked Pioneers at 9 p.m.
