SAN BRUNO, Calif. – Santa Clara men's soccer was recognized by the West Coast Conference on Monday when Emil Christensen was named the WCC Men's Soccer Player of the Week.
The sophomore central defender spearheaded the Santa Clara defense which posted back-to-back shutout wins on the road at Lipscomb (in Nashville, Tenn.) on Friday night and at Evansville (Evansville, Ind.) on Sunday afternoon by the same 2-0 score in both matches.
"Emil is our co-captain, leader and has marshaled the backline comprised of two other sophomores and a freshman," said Broncos head coach Cam Rast.
