JACKSON, Miss. -
Hadleigh Watson of the Belhaven Women's Soccer team and
Will Justice of the Belhaven Golf team have been named the C Spire Athletes of the Week for their performances in competition over the past week.
Watson helped lead the Blazers to a stellar 3-0 stretch over the past week including a pair of conference victories. The Belhaven center back along with other members of the Blazers' back line kept three clean sheets as they took down Huntingdon, Piedmont and Birmingham-Southern all by 3-0 scorelines. Watson played 169 minutes across all three matches making a pair of starts and came off the bench in the victory over Piedmont to contribute her first goal of the season.
Justice led the way for the Belhaven Golf team at the UMHB Invitational in Temple, Texas on Monday and Tuesday. The Texas native put together a two-round score of 140 (E), aided by a second round 69 (-1) which was the joint best round for the Blazers on the tournament. Justice topped the Belhaven team finishing t-11th among individuals as the Blazers finished the tournament 9th in a competitive field.
Watson and the Women's Soccer team return to action on Saturday when they travel to Lookout Mountain, Georgia to take on Covenant College in a resumption of conference action. Kick off against the Scots is set for 4:00 PM Central.
Justice and the Men's Golf team are back on the course Monday and Tuesday of next week as they also will make the trip to "The Peach State". The Blazers will compete in the West Pines Collegiate hosted by Oglethorpe University.
