Taylor and Kelsey named ECAC Players of the Week

The Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference has named Muskingum sophomore Kesten Taylor Fortnite Player of the Week and freshman Evan Kelsey Valorant Rookie of the Week.

Taylor and Kelsey are the first Muskies ever to receive ECAC Player of the Week honors this season and in the program's two-year history.

After a challenging Game 1, Kesten helped the Muskies storm back in the first week of the ECAC Fortnite tournament, securing 18 eliminations and Victory Royale in Game 2. The great effort has the Muskies currently in second place and poised to challenge for the ECAC title in their first season.

Kelsey led the Muskies to a 2-0 start in ECAC play with a win over the Moravian Cyberhounds. Kelsey racked up an outstanding 51/24/16 scoreline over 39 rounds and was a clear driving force behind Muskingums' strong showing in Valorant action.

Taylor and Kelsey were both selected over players from roughly 40 other schools that are apart of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference.

The Muskies continue with the spring season on Tuesday, February 16, in Valorant action against Finlandia University at 8:00 p.m. You can catch all the live-action streaming on twitch.tv/fightingmuskies.
