NAPERVILLE – The College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) announced its Men’s Soccer Student-Athletes of the Week on Tuesday for matches played between Monday, Oct. 28 and Wednesday, Oct. 30.
 
Offensive: Michael McFarlane, Millikin, Freshman (Vero Beach, Fla.)
McFarlane was the difference for the Big Blue in their 3-2 win over Illinois Wesleyan last Wednesday, breaking a tied score with the match-winning goal with just 37 seconds remaining of MU’s 3-2 victory. The strike was McFarlane’s sixth of the season and fourth since Oct. 5.
 
Defensive: Daniel Szalai, North Central, Freshman (Mississauga, Ontario)
Szalai notched this third shutout of the regular season last Wednesday, making three saves to help the Cardinals blank CCIW regular-season champion Wheaton, 2-0.
 
The performance improved his season goals-against average to 0.50 in six starts – all against CCIW opponents.
