For a third-straight week, a Mississippi State soccer player has received a weekly SEC honor.

Kennedy Husbands was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Week on Monday after scoring one of the beautiful goals of the season in a 3-0 win at Missouri.

The goal was a perfect volley from 30 yards away that arched high and curved right into the top right corner of the goal. That gave the Bulldogs’ a 2-0 lead.

Husbands was also part of a defensive that allowed just shots on goal in the Bulldogs’ fifth shutout of the season.

The award marks the third week in a row that a Bulldog has earned a weekly honor from the conference office. Laila Murillo was the SEC Freshman of the Week last week after scoring two goals at Texas, and Ally Perry was the Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 15.

The Bulldogs return home on Thursday night to host Ole Miss in the annual Magnolia Cup rivalry. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. on SECN+
