Kenyon men’s soccer player Tomas Munoz Reyes took home the North Coast Athletic Conference’s Student-Athlete of the Week honor, the school reported this week.
The honor is given to “student-athletes who excel in areas which include academics, community service, perseverance and leadership,” a release issued on the school's website said.
The honor is given out by the NCAC’s Student Advisory Committee in lieu of the normal Athlete of the Week awards after sports were canceled this fall by the league.
Munoz Reyes, a junior and native of Lo Barnechea, Chile, is one of two upperclassmen on the Kenyon campus; which is open to freshmen, sophomores and international students. He’s been helping the underclassmen in workouts this fall.
Munoz Reyes has seven goals and four assists in 36 matches over his two seasons with the Lords.
He suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Lords’ final regular season game, a 4-0 win over DePauw on Nov. 2, 2019.
Kenyon finished the year 19-2-2, with NCAC regular season and tournament championships, before falling to Montclair State in overtime in the third round of the NCAA Division III tournament.
