San Antonio - Trinity Tigers junior defender Kyle Porter (Albuquerque, N.M./Eldorado) has been named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week.
 
Porter and his Tiger teammates wrapped up the regular season with a pair of SCAC victories over Austin College (4-0) and the University of Dallas (2-0).
 
The stingy Trinity defense, paced by Porter, limited Austin College to just three shots on goal (seven total). Contributing to the offense, Porter scored both of Trinity's goals in the victory over the University of Dallas. His first game-winning goal of the campaign occurred in the 65th minute of play.
 
For the season, Porter has chalked up three goals and two assists.
 
Trinity, led by head coach Paul McGinlay, completed the regular season with undefeated records of 14-0-2 and 9-0-0 SCAC. The Tigers, ranked fifth in the NCAA Division III, begin defense of their conference title Saturday at the SCAC Tournament at Birmingham, Ala. Top-seeded Trinity, which received a first-round bye, will play the winner of No. 4 Birmingham-Southern (the host team) and No. 5 Centre at 5 p.m.
 
The winner of the six-team event, which concludes Sunday, will earn an automatic bid to the NCAA playoffs.
