GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Tusculum kicker Max Turan and soccer forward Carme Escamilla have been named the Zaxby's Athletes of the Week.
Turan, a redshirt freshman from Johnson City, Tennessee, connected on a 42-yard field goal and also added an extra point in Saturday's home finale against 23rd-ranked Wingate. Turan leads the team in scoring with his 24 points. He has been perfect on his two field goal attempts, covering 44 and 42 yards. He has also gone 18-of-19 on extra points including his current streak of 10 in a row.
Escamilla, a sophomore from Barcelona, Spain, scored her team-leading seventh goal of the season in Saturday's South Atlantic Conference quarterfinal at Coker. She scored the equalizer in the 35th minute as she finished scoring three goals in her last three matches of the year. Escamilla is sixth in the conference in goals scored (7) and 15th in points (14).
The Tusculum University Athlete of the Week Award is sponsored by Zaxby's, located at 3280 Andrew Johnson Highway in Greeneville. The Zaxby's Athlete of the Week Award honors one male and one female athlete each week from an in-season sport.
