After a huge week in net that helped the Bears to a pair of wins over in-state rivals, Mercer sophomore goalkeeper Greg Ranjitsingh was named the Atlantic Sun Conference Defensive Player of the Week on Monday.
Ranjitsingh played a huge part in helping the Bears to a perfect 2-0 week with a 1-0 win at Georgia Southern on September 10 before lifting Mercer to a 2-0 home win over Georgia State on Sunday evening.
The Pickering, Ontario native has now posted shutouts in three-straight matches to increase his career total up to 11, moving him into a tie for 10th place for the most shutouts in A-Sun Conference history.
Ranjitsingh made 11 combined saves in both contests to bump his save percentage up to a sparkling .818, which is good for 43rd nationally in the most recent NCAA statistical report released on September 17.
Ranjitsingh leads the A-Sun Conference with four shutouts so far this season and ranks second in the league with a 0.82 goals against average.
Mercer is back in action on Saturday, September 22, when it hits the road once again to take on Central Arkansas. Game time is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET at the Bill Stephens Track/Soccer Complex.
