AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Peach Belt Conference has announced its men's soccer weekly honors on Monday afternoon, and Flagler defender Filip Hornburg was named the PBC Defensive Player of the Week.
 
"We are delighted for Filip to receive this award for the second week running," said Flagler men's soccer head coach Thomas Coombes. "He is a big reason why we have kept clean sheets in recent games, but the whole back line deserves full credit for their performances!"
 
Hornburg helped the Saints to a 2-0 victory over No. 20 North Georgia on Sunday afternoon. The defensive performance limited the Nighthawks to six shots, including three on target. The weekly honor is the second straight, and third of the season for the Oslo, Norway native. Hornburg's defensive play this season has guided the Saints to four clean sheets, including two straight shutouts.
 
Flagler is riding a four-game winning streak heading into the final three weeks of the regular season. During that span, the Saints are outscoring their opponents 9-1. In the latest NCAA Division 2 Men's Soccer Power Index, the Saints checked in at No. 17 as well as No. 5 in Super Region 2.
 
The Saints will return to action this week with a pair of home matches, beginning Wednesday, October 14^th at 7:00 p.m. against USC Aiken. Following the midweek match, Flagler will host Middle Georgia at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 17th. Saturday will be senior day for the Saints and festivities will get underway at 3:00 p.m.
