Richardson Named AAC Freshman of the Week; Jauk Earns AAC Honorable Mention

IRVING, Texas -- For their goals scored in the 2-2 draw against #7 Syracuse on the road last week, Jaedon Richardson has been named American Athletic Conference Freshman of the Week, and senior forward Filip Jauk was selected as an AAC Honorable Mention selection, as announced by the league Monday afternoon.

Richardson, a freshman from Mamaroneck, N.Y., scored his first collegiate goal in the 44th minute to give Charlotte a 2-1 lead entering halftime. The 5-foot-11 forward made the Orange pay dearly for an errant touch in their back half as he turned on the burners and delivered a first-touch shot into the back of the net, past the Syracuse keeper.
