NORFOLK, Va. – Djibril Doumbia of the Old Dominion men's soccer team was named the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week on Tuesday afternoon, as announced by league officials. All 2021 C-USA Men's Soccer Player of the Week honors are presented by Surf & Turf Golf.
Doumbia earned his second C-USA Defensive Player of the Week this season after he made nine saves and faced 21 total shots (10 on goal) in a 1-1 double-overtime draw at No. 8 Marshall on March 27. The Monarchs played the final 23 minutes with 10 men, but the sophomore from Boulder, Colorado was up to the task with a pair of saves in the first overtime to preserve the tie.
Old Dominion will return to the pitch on Sunday, April 4, when the Monarchs welcome Charlotte to the ODU Soccer Complex for a 2 p.m. start on CUSA.TV.
