Men's Team of The Week: September 27

by TopDrawerSoccer

September 27, 2022

There was a brief moment where the pass might not reach Lucas Meek. His Washington teammate Chris Meyers had barraged past two defenders and cut the ball back towards the penalty spot. And as the ball rolled towards Meek, a Grand Canyon defender slid in. But it landed perfectly on Meek’s foot — and he dutifully tucked the ball into the bottom corner. It was the second of three goals across Washington’s two contests, a trio of calm finishes that kept the Huskies’ unbeaten start alive.

He added two assists to that tally, having a hand in five of Washington’s eight goals. And that level of performance makes him our player of the week.
