His first week of collegiate soccer at Campbellsville University keeps getting better. Freshman forward Jamie Allen of England was named the Student-Athlete of the Week for NCCAA Division I men's soccer Thursday by the National Christian College Athletic Association.
He is the first Campbellsville University men's soccer player to ever earn a NCCAA Student-Athlete of the Week award.

Allen netted three goals in his college debut Aug. 27, as Campbellsville won its season opener at home over Freed-Hardeman University, 4-0. His hat trick provided extra excitement to the Tigers' first-ever home men's soccer night game and first game on the new synthetic turf at Finley Stadium.

"Jamie's going to be an exciting player for us this year. It was a good game for him, but being a freshman we know he'll have some good games and some not so good," CU head coach Adam Preston said. "I think there's great potential in him, and hopefully we'll get it day in and day out."

Other nominees for the honor were James Cottage of Southwestern Christian University (Okla.), Louis Falcon of Southeastern University (Fla.), Emmanuel Forbes of Southern Wesleyan University (S.C.), Ross Tanzer of Indiana Wesleyan and Alex Tyton of Judson University (Ill.).

Campbellsville University travels to the University of St. Francis (Ind.) this weekend. The Tigers face Indiana Tech at 7 p.m. Friday and USF at 4 p.m. Saturday. in the USF Labor Day Tournament.
