LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – On the heels of a five-point outing that included a pair of goals that bookended a 4-1 victory over Gannon, Lock Haven men's soccer player Austen Veach was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West Athlete of the Week.

Veach accounted for all of his five points on two shots as Lock Haven beat Gannon 4-1 on Thursday afternoon to secure the No. 2 seed in the West ahead of the PSAC Tournament which opens play on Sunday.

Aside from his goals, Veach flicked a heel kick to Patricio Zapata for The Haven's third goal of the contest as he contributed on three of Lock Haven's four goals on the afternoon.

For the sophomore, the honor is his second of the season after picking up a PSAC West Athlete of the Week nod on Sept. 21, 2026 following a two-goal week.
