The PACWEST Athletes of the Week
Soccer's best from the championship tournament
The PACWEST is proud to announce the soccer Athletes of the Week following the championship tournament this past weekend.
Female Soccer Athlete of the Week
Catrina Olstrom - Capilano Blues
The Capilano Blues won their first PACWEST gold medal since 2007 on Sunday thanks in large part to the play of their forwards controlling the pace. Catrina Olstrom was a workhorse up front continuously attacking the opposition's defense with her physical style of play, wearing them down to give her teammates opportunities to score.
Male Soccer Athlete of the Week
Burhan Waisy - Douglas Royals
Third year captain Burhan Waisy led the Royals to back to back gold medals this past weekend with a 2-0 win over the VIU Mariners. He was a force in the backline for 90 minutes and was able to break down any attack the Mariners tried to gather in the Royals end. His ability to lead the team with composure was a big reason for the Royals success this season and winning their second straight PACWEST title.
