Murray registered goals in both games for the Catamounts who went 2-0 last week. The midfielder began the week with the clinching goal in Vermont's 2-1 victory over then-undefeated Cornell. Murray and the Catamounts returned to Virtue Field and defeated UC Irvine 2-1, with the Kennebunkport, Maine native scoring the game's first goal.
 
Murray is currently riding a three-game goal streak, which stretches back to Sept. 10 when he scored against Harvard. The junior's three goals and six points this season are already career highs. Murray is the first Catamount to earn the weekly offensive honor this season.
 
Vermont returns to action on Wednesday (Sept. 21) with a trip to Loudonville, N.Y. to face Siena. Kickoff against the Saints is slated for 4 p.m. and will broadcast live on ESPN+. The Catamounts will be back at Virtue Field on Saturday (Sept. 24) when they host Binghamton in their conference opener. Kickoff for that game is slated for 7 p.m.
