FLINT – The Flint City Bucks are mourning the death of defender Eugene Quaynor.
Quaynor, who played 11 games for the Bucks last season, was killed in Tulsa, Okla., Wednesday night when his car was struck from behind by an SUV at a stop light, according to a report from FOX23 in Tulsa.
Police are investigating the incident.
Quaynor was a graduate student who played soccer at Oral Roberts University.
“Eugene was from Ghana and a beloved member of the ORU men’s soccer team,” the university said in a statement. “He was a team captain and known for his captivating smile. Eugene’s presence is missed.
“Thank you for your prayerful support of the family in this time of bereavement.”
With the Bucks, Quaynor had one assist last season.
In a press release, the Bucks said “in addition to being a true warrior on the pitch, he was always eager to do community service work, free youth clinics and charity events. This fall, he was in the midst of his fourth season with the Golden Eagles and had embarked upon his Masters degree.”
Quaynor recently earned his bachelor’s degree arts & cultural studies.
