CH Farmer Earns SCAC Player of the Week Honor

San Antonio - CH Farmer of Dallas (Lake Highlands), a Trinity University Tigers sophomore defensive midfielder, has been selected as the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Men’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week.

Farmer, who transferred from Xavier University, led the Tiger defense in shutting out Centre and DePauw 1-0 in important SCAC home games last weekend. Trinity’s defensive unit yielded only four total shots in the two games. The Tigers yielded one shot in Friday’s game with Centre, and three in Sunday’s match-up with DePauw.

Trinity has recorded nine shutouts in 13 games.

The Tigers (10-1-2, 5-0-0 SCAC) moved up in national rankings in the d3soccer.com poll. Trinity is now ranked ninth, from No. 10. The National Soccer Coaches Association of America Division III poll once again rates the Tigers at No. 12.

On Saturday, Trinity continues defense of its SCAC Championship by hosting Southwestern University at 8 p.m.

Farmer led the Tigers to a pair of SCAC shutouts last weekend
