IRVIN, Texas - Marshall University defender Jordan Hilgefort has been named Conference USA Defender of the Week for Oct. 4, as announced by C-USA officials Monday afternoon.

Hilgefort guided the Herd to two consecutive shutouts last week as MU defeated Shawnee State on Wednesday 3-0, and FIU 2-0 on Saturday in conference action.
