Simon Fraser University men's soccer halfback Ryan Dhillon was named the Red Lion offensive player of the week award in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference on Tuesday.
During the past week, Dhillon's offensive contributions helped the Clan to back-to-back shutout victories over the University of Mary and the University of Sioux Falls.
The freshman had a five-point weekend, earning two goals and one assist over 180 minutes of play.
"Ryan has started doing a lot better the past few weeks," said Clan head coach Alan Koch. "He has been playing with the confidence and swagger that we have hoped he would bring to the team."
The Clan offence began the weekend ranked first nationally in scoring and with Dhillon's goals the Clan outscore the Dakota teams by an 11-0 margin.
Against Sioux Falls, Dhillon scored back-to-back goals, 10 minutes apart in the eventual 6-0 win and his assist in the University of Mary game helped the Clan win 5-0.
Dhillon and the Clan will travel to Idaho and Montana this week to play Northwest Nazarene on Thursday and Montana State Billings on Saturday.
