ATLANTA – After leading Concordia-Irvine to a pair of wins, including a ranked triumph, Eagles junior netminder Tyler Schweickert earns MCLA Division I PEARL Goalie of the Week honors for the period ending Feb. 23.

Schweickert opened the week against No. 19 Clemson and the Tustin, Calif., product was superb, making 21 saves as Concordia-Irvine downed the Tigers, 15-11.

On Sunday, the Eagles entertained UC Santa Barbara, and again Schweickert was stout, making 12 saves and allowing four goals through three quarters before giving way to his backup.

For the weekend, Schweickert had 33 saves and allowed just 15 goals – a 68.8 save percentage.

“Tyler has been consistently performing at a high level this spring,” said Concordia-Irvine coach Jesse Foss. “He has posted double-digit saves in every game and our team's confidence in his ability allows us to play loose and take chances on both sides of the ball knowing he is going to steal some goals back for us.”

For his efforts in earning the Pearl’s Performance of the Week, Schweickert will receive a prize package from Guardian Pearl, a ball that lasts longer than the rest and never greases. Guardian Pearl is the proud partner of the MCLA.
