Game-Winning Goal Propels Azira to Mid-South Conference Men's Soccer Weekly Award

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College sophomore defender Michael Azira scored the game-winning goal against eighth ranked University (Ohio) of Rio Grande on Sept. 19 to earn Mid-South Conference Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.

The sophomore helped the sixth ranked Blue Raiders dispatch Rio Grande 2-1 with his goal in the 80th minute off of freshman midfielder Lebogang Moloto's assist.

Lindsey Wilson (4-1, 1-0 MSC) extended its conference winning streak to 57 games with the win. The Blue Raiders are 55-0-2 against MSC opponents since the 2001 season.

The conference honor is the first of the season for Azira. The Kampala, Uganda native has netted three goals for six points while starting all five games for Lindsey Wilson this season.

The Blue Raiders return to action at 7 p.m. CT on Sept. 26 against Montreat (N.C.) College at Walter S. Reuling Stadium.
