Morgan Langley Named Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Week
LANCASTER, Pa. – Junior Morgan Langley of the No. 7 Swarthmore men’s soccer team has been named the Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Week for the week ending October 5, the conference announced on Monday.
Langley leads the Garnet with 20 goals on the season.
Langley had a sensational offensive week for the Garnet, scoring three goals - all in a thrilling victory against Gettysburg - and adding two assists to lead the Garnet to a 2-0 week in the Centennial Conference.
In the 4-3 victory over Gettysburg, Langley netted the game-winning goal on a bicycle kick in the 89th minute while recording his first career hat trick to propel Swat to the thrilling victory.
