Doumbia, a senior goalkeeper, repeated as the conference keeper of the week following a 2-0 shutout against Air Force on Nov. 3 to clinch the first men’s soccer regular season conference title in San Diego State history. Doumbia earned a result in his final eight regular season starts for the Aztecs, which included four consecutive solo clean sheets.
