LANCASTER, Pa. – Following a pair of shutout victories last week, Ursinus men's soccer senior goalkeeper Josiah Moore was named the Centennial Conference Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week, the conference office announced Tuesday.

Moore led the Bears to a pair of shutout victories last week to help Ursinus clinch its first-ever Centennial Conference Tournament berth. On Wednesday against Franklin & Marshall, Moore recorded four saves for his fifth shutout of the season in the Bears' 2-0 victory. Against Washington College on Saturday, he made six saves to help Ursinus preserve a 1-0 victory, earning his sixth shutout of the season and clinching a playoff spot for the Bears.

The West Chester, Pennsylvania, native leads the Centennial Conference with 53 saves this season while ranking third in goals-against average (1.00) and shutouts (6).

The Bears finished with a perfect 4-0 record at home in Centennial Conference play this season and currently sit third in the conference standings with 16 points. Moore is the second Bear this season to earn the conference's weekly honor after sophomore Eliot Bowen was named Offensive Player of the Week on September 29th.

The Bears return to action tonight, traveling to Misericordia University for a 7 p.m. matchup before wrapping up the regular season Friday at Johns Hopkins University.
