ATLANTA – After backstopping Kennesaw State to its second-straight SELC Division II championship, Owls netminder Dominic MacJack is the MCLA PEARL Goalie of the Week for the period ending April 23.

For earning the PEARL’s Goalie of the Week, MacJack 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.
