Two Oglethorpe University Soccer Players Named SCAC Players of the Week
(For matches played Monday, Oct. 4th through Sunday, Oct. 10th)

ATLANTA -- Oglethorpe University soccer players Frank Monteleone and David Mueller were named Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Men’s Soccer Players-of-the-Week last week.

Monteleone, a sophomore forward from Courtland, N.Y., scored the game-winner in Friday’s 2-1 win against Sewanee: the University of the South, Sewanee, Tenn., and he had a goal and an assist in Sunday’s 3-0 shutout of Centre College, Danville, Ky. Last weekend’s sweep of Sewanee and Centre is the first time Oglethorpe has defeated those teams in the same season since 1992. Monteleone now has nine goals and six assists for 24 points in just 10 games. He is currently third in the SCAC in goals per game (0.90), assists per game (0.60) and points per game (2.40).

David Mueller, a first-year defender from St. Louis, Mo., was named SCAC Men’s Soccer Defensive Co-Player-of-the-Week, along with Danny Heine of Rhodes College, Memphis, Tenn. Mueller anchored the Stormy Petrels defense, which gave up just one goal in three wins against LaGrange, LaGrange, Ga., (4-0); Sewanee (2-1); and Centre (3-0). Mueller also made a surging late run in which he assisted Frank Monteleone’s game-winner against Sewanee on Friday.
