Jeremiah Wright has been named the G-MAC Men’s Soccer Athlete of the Week for the first time this season, and his second time in his career at TNU. In the team’s only conference action of the week, Wright played a major role in posting the win for the Trojans.
 
Trevecca opened the week with a difficult shutout loss to Carson Newman, but bounced back to claim its first win in conference play and improve to 1-0-1 in the G-MAC with a dramatic 4-3 double overtime win over Kentucky Wesleyan.   
 
TNU fell behind 2-0 early, but pulled even in the first half on Wright’s unassisted goal in the 38th minute. The Trojans would hold a 3-2 lead, but allowed the game tying goal to force overtime. The game seemed to be headed for a draw when Wright made a solo-unassisted run around and past three defenders and a charging goalkeeper to score the game-winner with just 14.1 seconds left in the second overtime.   
 
Wright leads the team with three goals and seven points on 12 shots. He is tied for fourth in the conference in goals and tied for fifth in points.
