The PACWEST Athletes of the Week
The best of the best from from Week 1 of the PACWEST soccer season
The PACWEST is proud to announce the soccer Athletes of the Week following the opening weekend of the regular season.
Female Athlete of the Week
Alicia Skirzyk – Douglas Royals
Alicia Skirzyk was an attacking threat this weekend tallying two goals as the Royals started the PACWEST campaign with a win and a draw. On Saturday, she scored the game winning goal 10 minutes into the second half on a partial breakaway. A little while later, she helped win the corner that eventually saw the Royals take a two-goal lead. Then on Sunday, Alicia remained dangerous from wide areas and scored in the 67th minute from a cross to tie the game at 1-1.
Male Athlete of the Week
Nima Moazenizadeh – Capilano Blues
In his first game in Blues colours, Moazenizadeh lifted his club to a 4-3 away win over the Douglas Royals. After finishing a nice cross from Jeremy Monn-Djasngar for his first goal to make it 2-0, Moazenizadeh authored a stunning strike for his second as he corralled a ball just past the midfield circle and drove a blast high and over the head of the Royals keeper. It was one of the most impressive goals in the PACWEST in recent memory.
