Adam Smarte and Mikayla Murphy Receive Independent Player of the Week Honors

Senior Midfielder/Forward, Adam Smarte from men's soccer and Freshman Cross Country runner, Mikayla Murphy both received Independent Player of the Week Honors this week. Smarte led the Slugs to two victories in as many days this weekend with a pair of opening goals against Cal State East bay and Menlo, respectively. Scoring his fourth and fifth goals of the year, Smarte moved into third in scoring on the team. The Slugs picked up their 10th and 11th wins of the season, giving them an 11-3-0 overall record.

After breaking the UCSC 5K school record in her race last week, Murphy once again broke another record in this week’s race. She broke the UCSC 6K record by 30 seconds in a time of 22:36, placing third at the Gator Invite in San Francisco.
