ST. LOUIS – Saint Louis freshman midfielder
Isaiah Parker was named the Atlantic 10 Conference men's soccer Rookie of the Week, the league announced today.
Â
Parker, who earned the nod for the second time this season, scored a goal and assisted on another in the Billikens' 2-0 victory over Dayton on Saturday. In the first half, he sent a centering pass to
Simon Becher who touched it past the Dayton goalkeeper for the eventual game-winning goal.
Â
In the second half, Parker scored a highlight-reel goal when he curled a ball in directly off a corner kick to put the game out of reach. He is now tied for third on the Billikens with 10 points (3G, 4A). Last week, Parker was named the
No. 2 freshman in the country by Top Drawer Soccer.
Â
The Billikens, ranked No. 4 in the Top Drawer Soccer national poll, return to action Saturday when they travel to face George Washington. Kickoff is scheduled for noon (CT).
