NEW ORLEANS – After posting back-to-back shutouts, James Madison freshman Sebastian Conlon earned Defensive Player of the Week honors, the Sun Belt Conference announced Tuesday afternoon.

The Dukes currently stand at 3-4-1, 0-1-1 SBC after Conlon helped lead them to a 1-0-1 week.

It was the first time the JMU goalkeeper posted back-to-back shutouts, aiding in the 2-0 win against Georgetown and a scoreless draw at Old Dominion. He collected 10 saves, recording six against the Hoyas' high-powered offense and then another four versus the Monarchs. His six saves in the match with GU were the second most of the season for Conlon and he was the only Sun Belt Conference goalkeeper to post two shutouts in the week.

Earlier in the day, the Reston, Va. native was named to the TopDrawerSoccer Men's Soccer National Team of the Week.

Conlon and the Dukes continue their 2022 campaign as they welcome George Washington to Sentara Park for a 6 p.m. kickoff on Wednesday, Sept. 28.
