First weekly award for the Ona native
NEW ORLEANS – No. 8 Marshall University men's soccer defender Ryan Holmes was named the Sun Belt Conference Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week on Tuesday, as announced by the league office.
A native of Ona, West Virginia, Holmes played a big role in a 3-1 win at Cleveland State on Wednesday and a 7-1 home victory over Pacific on Sunday. At CSU, he played a full 90 minutes on a backline that conceded just one goal and allowed just four shots on goal.
On Sunday, the freshman tallied the first two goals of his career in 72 minutes of action on the pitch against Pacific. Holmes found the back of the net just 2:17 into the contest and again in the 19th minute, the eventual game-winning goal. The backline he was a part of saw Pacific score just the one goal on five shots, two on target, and allowed no shots in the second half.
The Herd is back in action on Friday when it heads to Lexington, Kentucky, for its SBC opener at No. 5 Kentucky.
