Four UM Athletes Named Conference Player of the Week MOBILE, Ala. -- Four University of Mobile athletes were named Conference Player of the Week the GCAC announced Wednesday.

Freshman libero Kelly Ladnier was named Defensive Player of the Week for her effort againt Judson recording 18 digs for the Rams. Freshman setter Jill Campbell was named Setter of the Week for recording 33 assists versus the Eagles. The Rams defeated Judson in a come-from-behind victory, 3-2, last Thursday in Marion, Ala. "I think it is fantastic for the girls to be recognized for their effort," said volleyball head coach Jon Campbell. "They played really well together and deserve this honor." Sophomore goalkeeper Tommi Sarkrinen was named men's soccer Player of the Week for his tremendous effort last weekend in the 2005 O'Charley's Futbol Festival hosted by UM. Having to play a man down for most of the game against Holy Names University, Sarkrinen made save after save keeping the Hawks scoreless and recording his first shutout of the season. "When we went down a man as early as we did, there was going to be a lot more pressure on the defense and Tommi," said men's soccer head coach Peter Fuller. "Tommi made four quality saves and one great save on a breakaway to keep the score at zero. He certainly is deserving of this award." -30- |
