ROEI NIR OF THE MEN’S SOCCER TEAM WAS NAMED THE CAL PAC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK. THE JUNIOR FROM TEL AVIV ANCHORED A BACKLINE THAT PITCHED CONSECUTIVE SHUTOUTS LAST WEEK AGAINST ST. KATHERINE AND PROVIDENCE CHRISTIAN. 

NIR WAS NOT THE ONLY EMBRY-RIDDLE SOCCER PLAYER RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR DEFENSIVE PROWESS. ELLIE NEAL FROM THE WOMEN’S TEAM WAS ALSO NAMED THE CAL PAC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK. THANKS TO HER EFFORTS IN THE BACKFIELD, THE LADY EAGLE DEFENSE DID NOT ALLOW ST. KATHERINE OR PROVIDENCE CHRISTIAN TO GET A SHOT ON GOAL IN THEIR CONTEST. 

THEN THERE’S RIDDLE’S THIRD CAL PAC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK, LILY FIGGINS FROM THE VOLLEYBALL TEAM. SHE REGISTERED 51 DIGS IN THE LADY EAGLES THREE VICTORIES LAST WEEK, AND ALSO HAD 23 ASSISTS.
