The Panthers scored five goals between two games, and the Illinois native delivered each one with a sensational variety. It began with an absurd quadruple against Western Illinois, which tied the program and Ohio Valley record for goals in a single match. Tetteh then followed that by scoring the lone goal in a narrow 1-0 victory on the road at UT Martin.
