FitzGerald named SoCon Men's Soccer Player of the Week

SPARTANBURG, SC - UNC Greensboro midfielder/forward Michael FitzGerald was named the Southern Conference Men’s Soccer Player of the Week on Tuesday for his outstanding play in UNCG’s two wins last week.

FitzGerald, a redshirt junior from Wilmington , NC, tallied three goals last week in wins over High Point and College of Charleston . FitzGerald racked up two of his three goals on the week in the Spartans’ league win over the Cougars last Saturday. Prior to his offensive output last week, Fitzgerald had just two goals chalked up to his name on the 2005 season.

The win over College of Charleston extended UNC Greensboro’s conference unbeaten streak to 12 consecutive games and gave the Spartans sole possession of first place in the Southern Conference.

UNCG hosts Wake Forest in a battle of Top 20 teams on Wednesday night at UNCG Soccer Stadium beginning at 7 pm.
