Millward repeats as Player of the Week

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- Bellevue University senior Toby Millward (Kings Lynn, England) has once again been recognized as the Men's Soccer Player of the Week by the Association of Independent Institutions, as announced by the A.I.I. office on Monday.

Millward was all over the scoresheet for the Bruins last week, scoring three goals and four assists to lead BU to a pair of wins over Jamestown (6-0) and Mount Marty (4-1).

In Bellevue's win over Jamestown on Wednesday, Millward scored twice and added an assist as the Bruins recorded their largest away shutout against a GPAC school in program history.

He followed up that performance by scoring what proved to be the game-winner and recording three assists in Sunday's triumph over Mount Marty.  He twice sent set pieces into the box for headed goals by Andy Wilkinson and sprung Inaki Aldao on a breakaway to provide the final strike.

Millward now has 25 assists for his BU career to move atop the all-time leaderboard and becomes just the second player in program history with as many as 25 of each goals and assists in a career.

On the season, Millward ranks fourth nationally with nine goals and third with eight assists.

It is the third Player of the Week Award in Millward's career and second in as many weeks. He was also recognized on Oct. 7, 2019 and Oct. 12, 2020.

Bellevue hosts Morningside College on Wednesday at 8 p.m. from Papillion Landing.
