The PACWEST Athletes of the Week
Dunlop and Chavula played important parts in their team's victory on the weekend
The PACWEST is proud to announce the soccer Athletes of the Week following Week 4 of the regular season.
Female Athlete of the Week
Cara Dunlop – VIU Mariners
With only one game on the weekend and her team needing to bank valuable points, team captain Cara Dunlop stepped up and delivered offensively and defensively. On Sunday, the Nanaimo native and central defender scored the first two goals of the game courtesy of a header from a corner kick. She also led a team defensive effort that limited the opposition to only five shots on goal.
Male Athlete of the Week
Wizaso Chavula – Langara Falcons
Wizaso “Wiz” Chavula is a first year player that is playing at a very high level, and was fantastic in Langara’s lone game over the weekend against the top seeded VIU Mariners. He was a menace for the midfield and defenders throughout the match with a quick pace, slick passing, and keen distribution which caused problems for the Mariners throughout the game. Wiz not only scored a highlight reel goal, but also created another scoring opportunity which the Falcons capitalized on.
