October 7, 2008Senior Carlos "Jota" Pedro da Silva and Freshman Jonathan Houghton were named the Appalachian Athletic Conference Players of the Week. The Lions were led by these two last week in their two conference wins over Tennessee Wesleyan and Bluefield. Jota was named Offensive Player of the Week for scoring 2 goals in each of the games. He leads the team with 9 goals for the season, and has also added 2 assists. Jota is one of our most experienced players, and is our team's offensive leader. Houghton was named Defensive Player of the Week. He not only contributed defensively for both shutouts, but he also had an assist in each of the games. Houghton is our only back that has started every game so far this year. He is a consistently strong defender that is dangerous on the attack. He reads the game so well, always putting himself in the right place at the right time. Both of these players will be looking to help the Lions continue their regular season undefeated, and then deep into the playoffs.
