North Park University’s Mathias Soerum and Millikin University’s Christian Smith have been recognized as the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Men’s Soccer Student-Athletes of the Week. The announcement was made Tuesday following their performances in recent non-conference matches.
Soerum, a junior midfielder from Brumunddal, Norway, played the entire match for North Park during their game at Aurora last Wednesday. He contributed two assists in the Vikings’ 3-1 win. Soerum assisted on Kevin Perez’s goal at 57:35, which put North Park ahead 2-0, and later set up Thomas Roenning for an insurance goal in the 79th minute.
Christian Smith, a senior at Millikin, earned recognition on the defensive side. In his first career start, Smith faced 11 shots and recorded nine saves to help lead the Big Blue to a 5-0 shutout victory over Monmouth last Saturday in Decatur. This performance also marked his first career win and shutout.
