SUWANEE, Ga. -- After a standout defensive week, LeTourneau men's soccer senior Kristian Princ was named the SCAC Defensive Player of the Week, the conference announced on Tuesday. 

Princ is the first YellowJacket to earn conference weekly honors this season and becomes the first player to earn SCAC Defensive Player of the Week since LeTourneau joined the league in 2025.

A senior from Eden Prairie, Minn., Princ garners his first career weekly honor as he was part of a stifling defense that helped LeTourneau to its first 2-0 start since 2010. Princ played all 90 minutes in a 2-1 win over Howard Payne, with LeTourneau allowing just four shots. He then played 68 minutes in a 2-0 shutout of Schreiner, conceding only six shots. Between the two matches, the YellowJackets allowed just three shots on goal.

LeTourneau's one goal allowed this week was the lowest total in the SCAC. The one goal for surrendered over the first two matches is the lowest for the YellowJackets since 2021. 

LeTourneau returns to action on Thursday at Belhaven (7 p.m.).
