Laker’s Madegwa, Sethi
sweep weekly Peach Belt
men's soccer honors
Clayton State duo selected
"Offensive" and "Defensive Player of the Week" in PBC
MORROW,
Ga. - October 23, 2007 – The Clayton State Laker men’s socc er
team swept the weekly Peach Belt Conference honors on Tuesday as
Tonny Madegwa was selected Peach Belt Offensive Player of the Week,
and Alex Sethi was honored as the Defensive Player of the Week.
It’s the third and fourth time, respectively, that Clayton State has
earned a weekly Peach Belt honor in men’s soccer.
A senior forward from Nairobi, Kenya, Madegwa spearheaded a Laker
attack in Clayton State’s two victories last week. He tied the
Clayton State single-game mark for assists and also scored a goal in
the Lakers’ 8-1 rout over North Greenville last Tuesday, and then
scored the game-winning goal in Clayton State’s thrilling 2-1
victory at Lander on Saturday.
For the season, Madegwa leads the Peach Belt in assists with 10, and
is ranked second behind teammate Jamal Geathers in scoring with nine
goals and 10 assists for 28 points. He’s also ranked sixth in the
nation in assists.
A freshman from Buckinghamshire, England, Sethi helped spearhead the
vaunted Clayton State defense in both games last week as the Lakers
surrendered only two goals and a combined total of 12 shots. In
addition, he also recorded an assist in each game, including the
first goal of the game against Lander.
13th-ranked
Clayton State (11-3-1) and Limestone will square off on Wednesday
night at 7 p.m. at Laker Field.
