A Week of Firsts
Lennart Granzow, a senior defender for UNC Asheville’s men’s soccer squad, delivered a standout performance that turned a narrow 1‑0 win over Northern Kentucky into a memorable milestone for the program, capping the game with his first career goal.
The victory not only earned Granzow his first Defensive Player of the Week accolade but also marked the first season‑opening shutout the Bulldogs have recorded since 2015, underscoring the defensive cohesion that has taken shape early in the campaign.
Looking Ahead
Granzow, a business administration major from Hamburg, Germany, will now guide the team into its next matchup against Furman before a non‑conference contest with Warren Wilson slated for September 1, a game that could further test the squad’s depth.
