LOCK HAVEN — The Lock Haven Austen Veach of the Lock Haven men’s soccer team was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West Athlete of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday.
For the week, Veach accounted for two of the team’s four goals and directly contributed to three of its four scoring plays.
As a defender, he entered the week as the team leader in scoring and through seven matches, owns three goals and one assist for seven points. Veach has been highly efficient, scoring on 50 percent of his shots and placing four of his six attempts on target.
Veach led Lock Haven offensively during a 1-0-1 road week, totaling two goals and one assist for five points in matches at East Stroudsburg and the University of the District of Columbia.
Veach played a central role in Lock Haven’s 3-3 draw at East Stroudsburg on Sept. 16, scoring twice and adding an assist. He then helped the Bald Eagles close the week with a 1-0 road victory at the University of the District of Columbia on Sept. 19, Lock Haven’s first win of the season.
Veach played in all 180 minutes across the two matches and his play on defense helped lead to the shutout.
