BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Western Washington University senior midfielder Kaydin Wall has been selected as the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week.

 

Wall (Everett, WA/Kamiak HS) played an instrumental role in the Vikings 3-2 home win over Simon Fraser last week, scoring the game-winning goal and contributing assists in the other two goals. The victory over the Red Leafs secured a season sweep for WWU over SFU and extended the Vikings winning streak to seven consecutive games.

 

The senior midfielder has started all 17 games during the 9-5-3 campaign while playing 1404 of 1530 possible minutes. Wall has scored three goals (2 game winners) and is 2nd in the GNAC with seven assists.

 

"Kaydin is such a big part of our success. He is very talented going forward, sees plays and able to technically execute plays that others do not see," said WWU head coach Greg Brisbon. "Kaydin has worked hard on finishing chances that we create and it has really paid off this year for him."

 

Wall becomes the third Viking to win a GNAC weekly award this season, joining senior winger Andrew Rotter who earned the offensive award following the opening week of the season and senior midfielder Lucas Hakamada taking home the defensive honor last week.

 

WWU has had three GNAC Player of the Week selections during the 2024 season. Here is a week-by-week look at the GNAC weekly award winners:
