BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Following his first multi-goal match of the season, Khalil Johnson of Campbell University has been named Atlantic Sun Conference men's soccer player of the week.

The senior forward from Kingston, Jamaica scored twice in Campbell's 2-1 victory over Charlotte Saturday night at the Eakes Athletic Complex. Johnson's strikes in the 60th and 75th minutes helped lift CU over a 49ers squad that was tied for second in last week's Mid-Atlantic Region poll and was coming off a 2-0 victory over No. 11 Wake Forest.

"We are honored that Khalil has earned this recognition," said first-year head coach Steve Armas, who collected his first victory on the Camel sideline. "I feel that Khalil, at any moment, can be one of the most dangerous players on the field. Charlotte did not give him much room to work with, but he made the most out of two key opportunities."

Johnson's double lifted him into a tie for seventh place among A-Sun goal scoring leaders (2). The performance marked his third career multi-goal outing and first since he tallied a hat trick on Oct. 8, 2009 vs. USC Upstate. Charlotte was the third team CU has faced so far this season that appeared in the 2009 NCAA College Cup.

Campbell (1-2-2) continues its challenging non-conference slate Wednesday in a 7:00 p.m. kick-off at UNC Greensboro (4-2-0). The Spartans have won three straight and are ranked eighth in this week's South Region poll, marking the sixth-consecutive opponent that brings a regional rating into its match with CU.

Campbell and UNCG are long-time rivals. The teams squared off in both the 1992 (Campbell 5-0) and 1993 (UNCG 2-1) Big South finals before CU left the league for the Atlantic Sun Conference and UNCG joined the Southern Conference. UNCG holds a 14-4-1 edge in the all-time series against Campbell and has won the last 10 contests, including a 2-0 decision last year in Buies Creek. Campbell's last win against the Spartans was by a 4-2 score in 1994 at Buies Creek.

UNCG opened the season with a 2-1 victory over Charlotte before falling at Creighton (4-0) and at A-Sun foe Jacksonville (2-1). The Spartans rebounded with wins over Richmond (2-0), William & Mary (2-1) and on Saturday over Navy (1-0).

Both Hakan Ilhan and Eli Garner have scored twice this season for UNCG, while Aaron Reifschneider leads the club with three assists.

The Spartans are the second of four SoCon members on the CU schedule this year. CU dropped a 1-0 decision Sept. 7 at Davidson and hosts Appalachian State on Saturday (7:00) before traveling to Furman Oct. 5.
