Francis Marion University Athletics

Senior defender Esteban Quintero of the Francis Marion University men's soccer program was selected the McDonald's Student-Athlete of the Week for the period of Sept. 14-20.

A product of Hilton Head, South Carolina, Quintero anchored the Patriot backline after playing 171 of 180 minutes and contributing an assist in two matches, as Francis Marion recorded a 2-0 mark and stretched its winning streak to five straight. He played all 90 minutes on Wednesday night against Lander in a 2-0 win, while holding the Bearcats without a shot on goal. On Saturday afternoon, he competed for 81 minutes and assisted on the final goal in the 60th minute as FMU scored three unanswered goals to earn a 3-1 win.

#18 ranked Francis Marion will host Barton College on Wednesday, Sept. 23 in a divisional match at 7 p.m. before traveling to Emmanuel University on Saturday for a 5 p.m. kickoff.
