LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Bellarmine University senior midfielder Greg Fischer was recognized by the United Soccer Coaches as a 2020-21 College Player Award of Distinction recipient.

The new College Player Award of Distinction was established this spring for its member head coaches to submit deserving players based on one or more of the following criteria: Player has achieved quality performance on the field; represented the highest ideals of team leadership; exhibited quality character attributes including sportsmanship and respect for teammates, opponents, officials and the game in general; made other significant contributions to the benefit of the program and the community.

Fischer has been a team captain multiple years at Bellarmine. Last season, the native of Prospect, Kentucky, appeared in seven matches and played the entire game in all but one contest. The Trinity (Ky.) High School alum assisted on the golden goal in the Knights' 2-1 double-overtime win over Lipscomb that sealed the North Division one-seed in the ASUN Championship. He also notched an assist against FGCU in the ASUN Championship semifinals.
