TAMPA, OCT. 7, 2014 – Tyler Blackwood keeps raking in the awards after his nine-point week and hat trick in the Bulls' 3-0 win over Temple.
Blackwood was named one of six Disney Soccer/NSCAA Players of the Week and also earned a spot on TopDrawerSoccer.com's Team of the Week.
The senior forward scored his first-career goal and had his first-career assist as a Bull in a 3-0 win over Georgia Southern last Wednesday night and topped that on Saturday night, scoring all three of the team's goals in a shutout win against Temple.
Blackwood's hat trick was the first for a USF player since 2007 and was even more impressive due to the fact that he accomplished the feat in an 8-minute span in the first half. Overall, Blackwood led the team with nine points, four goals and seven shots for the week.
The London, England native is the first USF player to be named a Disney Soccer/NSCAA Player of the Week and third Bull to earn Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Week honors, joining Lucas Baldin and Wesley Charpie.
