No. 3 Rio Grande's Osmond locks down RSC Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- No. 3-ranked University of Rio Grande finished off a regular season of amazing defense with Mitchell Osmond picking up River States Conference Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week for Oct. 22-28.
A senior center back from Sydney, Australia, Osmond spearheaded a defensive effort that shut out Asbury, 3-0, and Midway, 5-0. The RedStorm did not allow a single shot versus Asbury. The win over Midway completed a regular season with only two goals given up by Rio Grande, one of which was a penalty kick.
Rio Grande (16-0-0, 9-0-0 RSC) is the No. 1 seed in the upcoming RSC Men's Soccer Championship. The RedStorm has a bye into the semifinals where it awaits the winner of No. 4 Asbury versus No. 5 IU East.
