The last time a goalkeeper for the UWM men’s soccer team
kept a clean sheet in the first start was in 2003 that was until Connor
Revsbeck broke this record on Wednesday night October 10th against
Wisconsin Badgers. The freshman from Lakeville, Minnesota made a string of saves
for the Panthers in helping them to a 1-0 victory over the badgers. This
performance helped Revsbeck pick up the defensive player of the week award from
the Horizon League, the first of his collegiate career.
“I felt honored and really appreciated it,” Connor Revsbeck
said when asked about receiving the award. “I was thankful to get the start and
luckily enough it seemed to have paid off. I didn’t expect to see plenty of
playing time this season but hoped to see the field eventually. I managed to get
an award in my first start so I can’t complain.”
Revsbeck is use to success though, as in high school he
picked up multiple awards for his performances between the goal posts. Named to
the 2011 MSHSSCA Boys
All-State the two-year captain lead his Lakeville Panthers to their first state
appearance in his junior year. The accolades don’t stop there for the young
freshman he was also a starter for the U-18 Minnesota Thunder Academy as well
as having over a 92% save average.
Revsbeck
then followed up this award with another clean sheet in just his second collegiate
start against Nebraska-Omaha this Tuesday afternoon. The panthers now go on the
road this Saturday taking on Cleveland State Vikings in League play before
hosting Detroit Mercy on Wednesday afternoon at Engelmann Stadium.
