Defensive Player of the Week
Trevor Mikuta, Sr., D, Muhlenberg
Hellertown, Pa. | Saucon Valley
Mikuta led the Mules to a pair of shutouts against regionally ranked opponents despite the absence of their two-time first-team All-Centennial Conference center back due to injury. In a 2-0 shutout of Rutgers-Camden (ranked fourth in Region IV), Mikuta also contributed to the offense with an assist on the first goal. Muhlenberg then played McDaniel (ranked eighth in Region V) to a scoreless draw despite being down a man for the entire second half. Mikuta preserved the clean sheet by saving a ball off the line on a Green Terror shot early in the second half. The Mules have recorded four straight shutouts and are undefeated through 13 games for only the second time in program history.
