Last Week Recap
The Golden Eagles went 2-0 last week, with a 4-0 win over Rochester Christian and a home upset against #13 Indiana Tech 2-1. Jack VanEyk highlighted the Golden Eagles by being named the WHAC Offensive Player of the Week thanks to his two goals and one assist against Rochester Christian, and the game winner versus #13 Indiana Tech as a freshman. Justin Hirwa snagged his first goal as a Golden Eagle with the opener against Indiana Tech in the 2-1 win.
 

Scouting Aquinas
The Saints enter the week 8-5 overall and 6-1 in WHAC play, owning the number two spot in the Wolverine Hoosier Athletic Conference. Currently sitting on a two-game winning streak, Aquinas came off last week with wins over Lawrence Tech and The University of Northwestern Ohio. Aquinas has potential to clinch the top seed in the conference tournament with their two final regular season matches against Cornerstone (Wednesday) and Madonna (Saturday).

Fikret Hasovic leads the Saints and the WHAC in goals scored at 10, in points at 22, and has the most game winning goals in the conference at 5. He has tallied 55 shots on the season with 28 of those on goal, as he continues to prove to be an offensive threat for Aquinas's Men's Soccer team.

Scouting Cleary
The Cougars enter the week 6-9-1 overall and 3-4 in conference play, currently holding the seventh spot in the WHAC. Cleary will look to make a run in the conference tournament against a top seeded team, after a 2-0 week with wins over Cincinnati Clermont and Michigan-Dearborn. The Cougars look to take that momentum into the final week of the regular season. Cleary will take on The University of Northwestern Ohio (Wednesday) and Cornerstone (Saturday), both at home in Howell, Mich.

The Cougars are led on offense by Austin Dyson, who is fourth in conference for the most goals scored at 6, third in points with 15, and third for game winners at 2. Dyson is helped along by his teammate Callum Johnson, who is fourth in the WHAC for most assists, as he currently has 5 assists on the season for the Cougars.
