Men’s Soccer - Defensive
 
Oregon Tech’s Garrett Byrd has been named the Red Lion Men’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week.
 
A junior defender from Medford, Ore., Byrd’s solid play in the back line helped the Owls to post two victories this weekend against NCU and nationally ranked Corban. Byrd played all 180 minutes, while holding the two opponents to a combined 19 shots, including keeping Corban to 9 total shots, which is half the shots they have been averaging to this point in the season.
 
The Oregon Tech defense has kept 3 clean sheets and only conceded 1 goal in CCC play and is now ranked 3rd in NAIA with 6 total Shutouts.
 
Honorable mention: Thomas Clark, TESC, Ben Teasdale, RMC, Sam Howard, UGF
