PACWEST Soccer MVPs
The quarterbacked their teams to a PACWEST gold medal
The PACWEST is proud to reveal the soccer Athletes of the Week following the championship tournament that was held this past weekend in Nanaimo.
Female Soccer Athlete of the Week
Vanessa Chung – Douglas Royals
The keeper backstopped the Royals to a PACWEST gold medal this past weekend, in goal for every minute of the tournament and she was simply outstanding. In the semi-final she recorded a clean sheet against the VIU Mariners, then made several highlight reel saves in the gold medal game as the Royals beat the top seeded Capilano Blues. Chung allowed just one goal in their two playoff games and helped them punch their ticket to the CCAA national championship in Prince Edward Island beginning on November 8th.
Male Soccer Athlete of the Week
Burhan Waisy – Douglas Royals
The veteran defender was outstanding in the Royals title clinching game on Sunday breaking up any potential offensive strikes from VIU. He also narrowly missed a goal by ringing a laser beam shot off the crossbar in the 41st minute. He is a leader on the field and a calm presence for the Royals on their backline and will have his team prepared to face the nation at the CCAA championship tournament in Windsor, Ontario beginning on November 8th.
