Jack Green
The American University men’s soccer team has caught fire, and it was Anchorage’s Jack Green who provided the spark.
The junior midfielder has racked up eight points over the last six games to fuel the team’s 5-0-1 unbeaten streak that has carried the Eagles into the championship game of the Patriot League Tournament.
Green’s offensive game has come alive in the second half of the NCAA Division I season. He had zero points in the first 10 games and three goals and two assists for eight points in the last six games.
