Men's Team of the Week: November 10
While there were only six games played over the past week in men’s Division I soccer, the Team of the Week returns once more.
The Sun Belt Conference and the ACC are the lone two leagues to push on and play through the pandemic, with both heading towards their respective conference tournaments.
One team that notched a massive win is pushing on towards the postseason looking to make a run in the ACC. Notre Dame beat Louisville by a 4-1 score on Friday, powered by a Jack Lynn hat trick. The junior’s three goals were sufficient to take down the Cardinals at home.
Player of the Week: Jack Lynn, Notre Dame
