Portland, OR - Simon Fraser University men's soccer goalkeeper
Brandon Watson (Victoria, BC) has been named the Red Lion Defensive Player of the Week in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.
This past week, Watson posted a pair of shutouts in 1-0 victories for SFU over the Saint Martin's Saints on
Thursday and the Seattle Pacific Falcons on
Saturday.
Watson put forth a stellar double overtime performance in
Saturday's game in a win that clinched the Clan's fourth straight GNAC Championship.
The freshman goalkeeper made three saves in each game to record the shutouts.
In 13 games this season, Watson is second in the GNAC in goals against average, third in save percentage and third in shutouts.
Jovan Blagojevic (Coquitlam, BC) also received honourable mention for the offensive player of the week award.
The Clan will wrap up their regular season schedule on Saturday when they travel to Bellingham, WA for the second installment of this season's "Border Battle" against the Western Washington Vikings. The Clan won the first meeting between the two teams, 2-0 at Terry Fox Field on
October 12.
After their match-up against Western, the Clan will turn their attention to the NCAA Selection Show on
November 11 which will reveal Simon Fraser's post-season fate.
