MAC Men's Soccer Co-Players of the Week
Isaac Walker, Western Michigan
Goalkeeper, Redshirt freshman, Orlando, FL (Bishop Moore)
Isaac Walker posted two complete game shutout performances for the Broncos over 187 minutes of play, helping his team defeat Detroit Mercy and Bowling Green last week. Walker is 9-2-1 on the season and is ranked first in the MAC with a .861 save percentage.
David Egbo, Akron
Forward, Jr., Enugu, Nigeria
Akron junior David Egbo scored his team-leading sixth and seventh goals over a 62-second span to help erase a 2-0 deficit with eight minutes to play to spark Akron to a 3-2 victory over Northern Illinois on Saturday, Nov. 2. Trailing 2-0, Egbo delivered a left-footed strike to the corner of the net at the 81:53 mark off balls played in from the wing by sophomore Pol Hernandez and redshirt junior Diogo Pacheco. Just over a minute later in the 83rd minute (82:55) he leveled the contest with a header that bested the keeper. The Zips capped the comeback when freshman Will Jackson scored the game-winning goal with 2.7 seconds remaining in regulation. Egbo directed the Zips' offensive attack, equaling a career-high with a team-best seven shots, including a trio on net, en route to netting his fourth career multi-goal match. Akron posted a season-best 31 shots in the affair, including a season-best 12 shots on goal. On the season, Egbo leads Akron in goals (7), assists (3), points (17), shots (41) and shots on goal (19).
