SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – After a championship-match clinching performance against Oral Roberts, the Kansas City duo of forward Jeremy Francou and goalkeeper Brandon McGaugh swept the final Summit League Men's Soccer Peak Performer of the Week awards, league officials announced Monday.

Francou broke a 1-1 tie with the Golden Eagles following an unassisted goal in the 61^st minute that held up as Kansas City clinched the spot opposite regular season champion Denver in the 2024 Summit League Men’s Soccer Championship match.

The Chartres, France native put all three of his shots on goal and his game-winning effort was the first of his career.
