MEN'S SOCCER PLAYER OF THE WEEK Bhayle Kearns | Lynchburg | Sr. | Midfielder Kearns, a senior from Broad Run, Va., played with his head in two different ways as the attacking midfielder scored three times via headers to help Lynchburg to a pair of ODAC victories last week.

He finished off a feed from Brennan Lagana with a highlight-worthy diving header to the near post in the fifth minute. On the weekend, Kearns registered his first career multi-goal game with two more aerial tallies in a 5-3 victory over Ferrum. He turned Kenny Robles' cross into an assist with a well-placed header in the 16th minute for a 1-0 lead, and then made it 2-0 Hornets with a 36th minute header from a Zach Whelan service.
