Hayden Gensler of Converse and Steingrimur Gunnarsson of Barton Collect Men’s Soccer Weekly Honors
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Hayden Gensler of Converse and Steingrimur Gunnarsson of Barton have collected the weekly honors for Conference Carolinas men’s soccer for the week ending Oct. 16, 2022.
Gensler was chosen as the Offensive Player of the Week, while Gunnarsson picked up Defensive Player of the Week accolades.
A sophomore from Cleveland, Georgia, Gensler finished last week with five points on two goals and an assist. Gensler started the week by scoring the first goal of what would turn out to be a title-clinching 4-1 conference win over Erskine at home on Oct. 11. The victory allowed the second-year program to win the regular-season title in Conference Carolinas men’s soccer. Gensler also assisted the second of the four goals in the match. Gensler scored the first goal in Converse’s 2-2 league tie at Mount Olive on Oct. 15. Gensler is presently tied for second overall in Conference Carolinas with eight goals on the season. He has scored a league-high tying seven of his eight goals in conference play.
A freshman goalkeeper from Grenivik in Iceland, Gunnarsson allowed just one goal in two huge results for Barton last week. He first secured the clean sheet in Barton’s 4-0 home win over Chowan on Tuesday, Oct. 11. He followed that up by making six saves in Barton’s 1-1 conference tie on the road at Emmanuel on Saturday, Oct. 15. On the year, Gunnarsson has a 1.55 goals-against average and a pair of shutouts.
