Logan Dorsey Named Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky men’s soccer forward Logan Dorsey has been named Offensive Player of the Week, the Sun Belt Conference announced on Tuesday afternoon.
Throughout his senior season, Dorsey has recorded eight goals and two assists. In his most recent appearance on the pitch, he recorded a hat trick in Kentucky’s 5-0 defeat of conference foe Coastal Carolina on Sunday.
“I’m really excited for Logan,” head coach Johan Cedergren said. “He has worked extremely hard, and it has really shown in his performances this season.”
Dorsey became the 11th Wildcat in program history to record three goals in one match during Sunday’s performance. It was first hat trick for the program since the 2022 season when Ben Damge scored three against Georgia Southern on Oct. 9. Damge became the first Wildcat to score three goals in a game since Tyler Riggs on Nov. 3, 2013 against Florida Atlantic. Chris Soler has the school record having scored four vs. Georgetown on Oct. 17, 2001.
“He is a great leader on and off the pitch,” Cedergren stated. “I’m so proud of him and happy that he got his first hat trick on Sunday.”
In addition to Dorsey’s eight goals and two assists, he has also tallied 24 shots with nine on goal this season. As a senior, Dorsey has doubled his offensive stats only seeing four goals scored in his junior showing. The conference honor is the first of his college soccer career.
Kentucky will host No. 4 Marshall at 7 p.m. EST on Friday to close the regular season homestand at The Bell Soccer Complex. The match will celebrate UK’s four seniors – Dorsey, Eoin Martin, Martin Soereide, and Nick Zielonka.
