COLLEGE SOCCER NEWS NATIONAL TEAM OF THE WEEK RELEASE (9/19)
AKRON, Ohio - University of Akron men's soccer redshirt sophomore Ezana Kahsay (Asmeras, Eritrea) has been named by College Soccer News to its National Team of the Week for the period ending on Sunday, Sept. 18.
Kahsay turned in a strong week helping the Zips extend their winning streak to three straight on the strength of team-high marks in goals (2) and point (4), while registering four shots, all on frame.
In Akron's 2-0 triumph past No. 5 UC Santa Barbara on Sept. 12, Kahsay recorded his first goal of the season in the 83rd minute (82:42) to secure the Zips' victory. He finished the affair posting two shots, of which both came on goal.
Kahsay followed notching his first career game-winning goal at the 87:18 mark to provide the difference in a 2-1 triumph at Tulsa on Friday, Sept. 16. He finished the tilt with two shots, both on frame.
On the season, Kahsay leads Akron in goals (2), points (5) and game-winners (1), while ranking second in shots (15) and shots on goal (6) and third in assists (1).
The ninth-rated Zips (5-2-0) return to action on Monday, Sept. 19, with a 9 p.m. ET tilt at SMU.
