Elmin Lemes was named Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week, while Sofia Bosnos and Leia Adkins swept the Women's Soccer Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week awards, respectively.
The three Gorloks were recognized following their performances in victories over Westminster College on Wednesday, October 28, as both Webster soccer programs captured SLIAC regular-season championships.
Lemes earned Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week honors after helping the Gorloks complete a perfect conference season with a 2-1 victory over Westminster. Lemes scored the opening goal of the match and finished with two shots, including one on goal, as Webster closed the regular season with an unblemished 8-0-0 conference record.
Bosnos was named Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week after netting the game-winning goal in Webster's 2-1 comeback victory over Westminster. Bosnos scored in the 72nd minute to break a 1-1 tie, securing the Gorloks' 17th SLIAC regular-season championship. She finished the match with two shots, including one on goal.
Adkins collected Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week honors after helping preserve the championship-clinching victory. The goalkeeper played all 90 minutes against Westminster, recording four saves on five shots on goal for an .800 save percentage. Her performance helped Webster finish conference play unbeaten at 7-0-1.
