Senior is Second on the Conference in Scoring

ST. LOUIS, MO – UMSL's Jeff Stegman (St. Louis, Mo./Vianney) was named Great Lakes Valley Conference Men's Soccer Player of the Week after another incredible performance for the senior.

Stegman was instrumental in two UMSL wins this past week, a 4-2 victory at Indianapolis and a 4-3 overtime win at home against Southern Indiana. Against Indianapolis, Stegman scored the first goal of the game for the Rivermen to get the scoring started. With the scored tied at 2-2 in the second half, Stegman then assisted on the go-ahead goal as UMSL went on to win 4-2. In the game against Southern Indiana, Stegman again played a big key in the victory. He recorded an assist on the first goal of the game, and with UMSL leading 2-1 found the net for himself, scoring to give UMSL a cushion at 3-1. After Southern Indiana rallied to tie the game and send it to overtime, Stegman then scored the game-winning goal with five seconds left on the clock in the first overtime period for the 4-3 UMSL win.
