TAMPA - University of South Florida men's soccer standout Aubrey Perry has been named to the TopDrawerSoccer.com National Team of the Week for the week ending Sept. 12.

Perry, a 5-9, 150-pound junior defender from Ocoee, Fla., helped guide USF to a 2-0 record this past week with a pair of 2-0 wins over Stony Brook on Sept. 7 and Virginia Tech on Sept. 10.

He has been one of the anchors of the Bulls' defensive corps that has posted three consecutive shutouts.

Coming off its win against the Hokies last Friday night on national television, USF hits the road for three straight matches, two in the Embassy Suites Kickoff Classic at Florida Gulf Coast (vs. Ohio State on Sept. 16 at 5 p.m. and Drexel on Sept. 18 at 5 p.m.) and then in its BIG EAST opener at Connecticut on Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. The match with the Huskies will also be broadcast nationally on ESPNU. The Bulls return home on Sept. 29 vs. Rhode Island at 7:30 p.m.

Ohio State comes into its match with USF with a 4-0 record after its 2-1 win over Bucknell on Sept. 12. The match will be another big test for the Bulls as the Buckeyes and USF boast No. 6 and No. 24 rankings in the this week's TopDrawerSoccer.com Top 48, respectively.
