No. 13 Seattle University men’s soccer’s Sam Langston (Sammamish, Wash.) received his first career Western Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week honor for the week of Nov. 2-8, 2015. David Olsen (Auburn, Wash.) was also named to the College Soccer News Team of the Week for the third time in four weeks as well as to the Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Week this week. 

Langston assisted on both Redhawk goals in the 2-0 win at Utah Valley, the No. 2 seed going into this week’s WAC tournament, and combined with a strong Seattle U backfield to preserve the team’s eighth shutout of the season.

Olsen scored both goals in the 2-0 victory at Utah Valley after recording his first career hat trick last weekend vs. Incarnate Word (Nov. 1) as Seattle U won their second WAC regular season title in three years. He is now two goals shy of Miguel Gonzalez’s record (15) in Seattle U’s Division I record books for most goals in a season (Olsen: 13).

Seattle U is now tied with Creighton for most wins in the nation (16) and enters this week’s WAC Tournament as the No. 1 seed. As one of the top two seeds, they receive a first round bye and will face the winner of No. 4 Houston Baptist/No. 5 CSU Bakersfield on Friday, Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. CT/5:30 p.m. PT.
