The first week of classes at UConn has come to a close and fall sports are under way. The same can be said for Huskies earning weekly awards from the American Athletic Conference.
Men’s Soccer carried the mantle this week, grabbing the defensive player and goalkeeper of the week in the American and placing two players on the five-man honor roll.
Redshirt sophomore Nkosi Burgess has been playing center back for the Huskies this season and has been part of a stout back line, allowing just one goal in over 183 minutes of play this week, earning defensive player of the week.
