September 02, 2024 | Men's Soccer
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Army West Point Men's Soccer's Kasem Minzey was named the Patriot League Rookie of the Week Monday.
The freshman defender from Granger, Ind. played 66 minutes off the bench in the Black Knights' 2-1 win at academy rival Air Force. The back line held the Falcons without a goal until the match's penultimate minute.
Minzey also forced a midfield turnover and received ball on a breakaway, and took contact leading to Gage Lyons penalty kick goal at Air Force. The goal occurred in the 75' as Army went up 2-0 over their rival from Colorado.
It's the second time in as many weeks an Army player won the league's Rookie of the Week accolade, after Ronald Zhai was bestowed the award August 26.
The Black Knights face Sacred Heart for their home opener at 6:00 p.m. Monday before playing Sacred Heart Thursday at home.
