McGhee Can Do It All

The RMAC named James McGhee the Defensive Player of the Week. The Mavericks improved their record by two wins last weekend after defeating Colorado Christian and MSU-Denver. McGhee netted a goal and was a part of a defense that only allowed four shots on goal.  This was his third goal of the season.

This is the back-to-back weeks that a Maverick has been named Player of the Week after Lawan Abary was named Offensive Player of the Week two weeks ago.
