Josh Ball has been named Lee University's Male Athlete of the Week for the second consecutive week after helping to lead the men's soccer team to one the greatest comeback wins in school history.

After falling behind 3-0 in the first half of Sunday's Gulf South Conference matchup at No. 25 West Alabama, Ball and the Flames rallied for an incredible four second half goals to stun the Tigers and move back to .500 overall and in conference play (3-3-1, 2-2-1).

The senior forward registred the hat trick scoring the first of his three goals just six minutes (51st minute) into the second half. That was just the beginning for the Georgia native. A minute later Ball tallied goal number two off an assist from Chevon Roberts and then completed his remarkable performance with the tying goal in the 86th minute.

"JB (Ball) scored twice in the first eight minutes and that made it a different game," explained coach Paul Furey. "JB's equalizer and Arturo's game winner in the final five minutes were both quality goals."

Ball and the Flames will be back in action on Friday as they travel to Rome, Ga. to test old rival Shorter University at 7 p.m.
