Johnson State College Athletics will recognize an outstanding student-athlete weekly for unique performances or contributions to their respective team or to the athletics department

RYAN DEMARS (Morrisville, Vt./Peoples)

CLASS:  Senior

MAJOR:  Business

SPORT:  Men's Soccer

POSITION:  Forward

THE PERFORMANCE(s):  Demars was the engine for the Badgers in a pair of wins last week that have JSC off to a 2-0 start.  The physical forward assisted on two goals in Johnson's 4-2 win over visiting Norwich University on September 1.  He followed that up with a two-goal effort in a 3-2 overtime win against Vermont Tech on September 3.  The first goal, a first half score, came on a highlight, individual effort while the second came with just three minutes left in regulation to force overtime.

DEMARS SAYS:  "The comeback win on Saturday over VTC encapsulates what we want to be as a team.  To believe and fight to the end of every contest.  It was also nice to get a win over Norwich, my first in my time at Johnson."
