RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – No. 21 Rogers State men's soccer's Declan Viljoen and Michael Lennon have been named GAC/MIAA Players of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday. This is Viljoen's third such honor this season and Lennon's first.
 
A product of Auckland, New Zealand, Viljoen earned GAC/MIAA Goalkeeper of the Week after posting his second clean sheet of the season in the 1-0 upset win over rival No. 16 Northeastern State last week. The junior made two saves on eight shots faced, and currently ranks second in the conference in goals-against-average (1.05) and save percentage (.769).
 
Lennon, a native of Congleton, England, earned GAC/MIAA Defender of the Week honors after leading the Hillcats to that 1-0 upset win over the RiverHawks, playing in all 90 minutes. The sophomore anchored a defense that earned its third shutout of the year by holding NSU to just eight total shots with two shots on goal in the win.
 
RSU will be back in action on Thursday, Oct. 5 as play host to Ouachita Baptist inside the friendly confines of Soldier Field. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
