AUGUSTA, Ga. – After recording 171 minutes in two games last week, sophomore Ryan Hanson has been named Peach Belt Conference Goalkeeper of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday afternoon. 

Hanson allowed only one goal in 81 minutes of shutout action, making one save for the 5-0 victory against Barton. He then went the full 90 minutes as the Braves upset Clayton State 2-1. Hanson weathered 17 shots from the Lakers, including seven on goal and made six saves as UNCP won with a goal in the 75th minute.

He allowed just one score and tallied seven saves during the week. Hanson leads the PBC with only nine goals allowed this year and is third with a 0.93 GAA. He has a 6-3-1 record in the 875 minutes he has spent between the posts this season.
