Ye & Morello Honoured
Both Claire Ye and Nicolas Morello played outstanding this past weekend on the pitch
The PACWEST is pleased to announce the Soccer Athletes of the Week following an exciting Week 2 of the regular season.
Women’s Soccer Athlete of the Week
Claire Ye – Capilano Blues
Squaring off against two of the top offences in the PACWEST, rookie defender Claire Ye more than held her own. On Saturday she helped limit the third ranked Douglas Royals to one goal in the Blues 2-1 win. Then on Sunday she helped deliver a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw against the VIU Mariners. Ye’s ability to defend one-on-ones and break up dangerous attacks has been instrumental in the Blues having allowed the fewest goals in the Conference.
Men’s Soccer Athletes of the Week
Nicolas Morello – Capilano Blues
Fifth-year midfielder Nicolas Morello had an impact on both sides of the ball all weekend for Capilano, culminating in the Blues’ 2-0 win over the third ranked VIU Mariners on Sunday afternoon. On Saturday, Morello scored his first goal of the season on a penalty kick, then on Sunday he set-up the game-winning goal. From a sideline throw in, he launched the pass into the box before it was headed home. On the defensive side, Morello’s pressure helped keep a high-powered Mariners offence off the scoresheet.
