ROCK HILL — Sam Ottley has been named the AstroTurf South Atlantic Conference Defensive Player of the Week.

Ottley, a sophomore from Telford, England, won the SAC Defensive Player of the Week after he played all 180 minutes in Newberry’s home conference wins over Catawba and Wingate this week.

Ottley was a part of a backline that held Catawba scoreless despite the Indians’ No. 4 national ranking in goals per match at 3.33, a figure that also led the South Atlantic Conference. He was a key factor in one of the biggest games in Newberry soccer history. In the victory over the No. 12 Wingate, he contributed by assisting on two of Newberry’s three goals.
