GREENWOOD, Ind. – Salem International sophomore forward/goalkepeer Dom Gillespie was named the seventh Great Midwest Athletic Conference Men’s Soccer Athlete of the Week for the fall on Monday.

Gillespie and the Tigers continued to forge through the regular season and racked up two more key league wins as Salem pursues favorable seeding for the postseason.
 
The Tigers (8-5-1, 6-4-0 G-MAC) defeated Alderson Broaddus in double overtime and Davis & Elkins.
 
Both games were at home in Salem as Gillespie flexed his muscle and emerged as the unlikely hero following an injury that has sidelined starting keeper Elliot Cook for the past four games.
 
Gillespie, listed as a forward on the active roster, has filled in admirably, shutting down the Battlers for the duration with six saves on 11 shots faced.
 
His Tiger teammates delivered the game-ending goal with 14 seconds to spare before a draw could be declared. Gillespie delivered another win tending net, this time in shutout fashion against D&E.
 
Shots were hard to come by for both teams, but Gillespie was credited with two saves to preserve an early goal in the eighth minute of regulation.
 
The Tigers head back out on the road after wrapping up their four-game homestand. Cedarville is next up on Thursday – the Yellow Jackets prevailed 5-1 in their first meeting of the fall.
