Mars Hill’s Peter Plougman was named the Offensive Player of the Week while Lincoln Memorial’s Dániel Benedek Miklósi was named the Defensive Player of the Week.

Plougman, a junior from Odense, Denmark, was a key contributor in Mars Hill’s late rally to defeat USC Aiken 4-2. Plougman ended the night with six points from two assists and two goals, including the game winner, and led an offense that outshot the Pacers 13-6 in the second half.

Benedek Miklósi, a freshman goalkeeper from Budapest, Hungary, held the No. 9 Limestone Saints scoreless in a 2-0 win for the Railsplitters. He recorded four saves, including shutting down a pair of strikes on goal in the 66th minute, to solidify the conference win.
