RICHMOND, Va. – Junior midfielder
Scott Vatne and junior goalkeeper
Tomasz Wroblewski of the Elon University men's soccer team both received CAA weekly laurels as announced by the league office on Monday morning, Oct. 30.
Vatne was named CAA Co-Offensive Player of the Week, sharing the honors with Delaware's Carlos Fernandez. Wroblewski earned the CAA Defensive Player of the Week accolade for the first time in his career.
Vatne scored the game-winning goal on Saturday, Oct. 28, in the Phoenix's 1-0 win over UNCW. The goal was the second game-winner of the season for the Klepp, Norway, native and his fourth overall of the season as the score clinched Elon a spot for the CAA Tournament for the third straight season.
Wroblewski posted his second straight clean sheet after having 10 saves against the Seahawks on Saturday. The 10 saves were the most for a Phoenix netminder since 2013 and the second-highest total in the CAA this season.
The Phoenix travels to Monmouth for the quarterfinal round of the CAA Tournament this Thursday, Nov. 2 as sixth-seeded Elon faces third-seeded Stony Brook at 6 p.m. The match will stream on FloFC.
