Senior earns second & third honors in under 24 hours
Bowling Green State University men's soccer standout Chris Sullivan has earned his second and third honors in a span of less than 24 hours. Sullivan has been named to both the College Soccer News and Top Drawer Soccer Teams of the Week, the web sites have announced.
Sullivan earns both accolades for the first time this season and the second time in his Falcon career. He was named to the CSN Team of the Week and earned honorable mention to the TDS Team of the Week once each in 2019.
On Monday afternoon (Feb. 22), Sullivan was named a Mid-American Conference Player of the Week.
Sullivan, a native of Naperville, Ill. (North), was involved in the scoring of all three BGSU goals as the Falcons defeated Dayton, 3-2, in the season opener on Friday afternoon (Feb. 19). Sullivan assisted on Kyle Cusimano's goal in the 13th minute that tied the score at 1-1. Then, he scored a goal of his own to tie the contest once again with just over an hour gone.
With just 7:48 remaining in the second half, he had the primary assist on Jacob Erlandson's winner. It marked the second four-point match of Sullivan's career.
Sullivan now has career totals of 12 goals, 15 assists and 39 points, leading current Falcons in all three categories. He and the Falcons are 19-9-3 over the last 31 matches, dating to late in the 2018 season.
Sullivan and BGSU continue a season-opening stretch of five-straight matches away from home with two more contests this week. The Falcons are in Buffalo, N.Y., for a neutral-site matchup with Syracuse this afternoon (Tuesday, Feb. 23). That contest is set to start at 12:30 p.m. Then, BGSU will begin a stretch of three consecutive road matches vs. nationally-ranked foes, taking on Marshall on Saturday (Feb. 27).
