Williams Named Offensive Player of the Week

WEST POINT – Senior forward Nick Williams drew Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week honors on Monday after scoring a pair of goals last week.

The Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week recognition is the first for Williams this season and is the second of his career.

Williams netted the opening goal in Army’s 3-2 victory over Siena on Sept. 13 before scoring the lone goal for the Black Knights in a 1-1 draw at St. Francis Brooklyn on Sept. 18.
The senior co-captain scored in the 12th minute of the Siena game to give Army a 1-0 lead, using his speed to dribble through a defender’s legs and score on the right side of the net.

Williams contributed the equalizer in the 75th minute of the St. Francis Brooklyn match, as he finished on a quick pass from freshman Zac McGraw after a well-placed free kick from junior Marcos Arroyo.

Williams stands second on the team with three goals this season and ranks tied for second in the Patriot League. Army freshman Rex Epps is tied for first in the league with four goals.

Army (2-3-1) begins Patriot League competition on Sept. 23, when the Black Knights face Navy in Army-Navy Cup V at Talen Energy Stadium in Chester, Pa.
