BIG SOUTH RELEASE
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Big South Conference announced on Monday that UNC Asheville men's soccer player Sam Presser had been named the League's Freshman of the Week for matches played between September 19-25. Presser is the second Bulldog to earn Freshman of the Week honors joining Sam Pitts-Eckersall who took home the same accolade back on August 29.
Presser played a key role in Asheville picking up 2-2 ties against Wofford and Gardner-Webb last week. Presser began the week with a three-point effort vs. Wofford (a goal, an assist) as he played a role in each of Asheville's two goals. In Saturday's Big South opener vs. Gardner-Webb, Presser logged an assist to put Asheville in front first in the contest.Â
With his efforts last week, Presser is now tied for third in the Big South in scoring with eight points. Only Campbell's Kerny Amiche (11 points) and Pablo Brimeux (9 points) of Gardner-Webb have tallied more points than Presser in 2022.
Presser and the rest of the Bulldogs will be back in action on Tuesday when it visits College of Charleston for their final non-conference match of the season. Kickoff for that tilt is set for 7 p.m.
