Two Soccer Stars Earn SCC Athlete of the Week Laurels
Men's soccer's Nick Asam and women's soccer Jordan Salinas have been tabbed Santiago Canyon's Athletes of the Week after standout performances that led their teams to the victory.
Jordan Salinas
Salinas, aka "Little Noggin", strapped on her cape and took on the hero roll leading to a crucial victory over Moorpark on Friday afternoon. After the Hawks grabbed an early lead and failed to lock it down due to a Radier goal in the 88th minute, Salinas corralled a well-placed corner kick from Aubrey Bryant in the 90th minute and pushed it passed an outstretched goalkeeper for the win. So far this season, Salinas has scored one goal and notched two assists in four starts.
Nick Asam
It is an understatement that Asam was goal hungry since stepping on the pitch earlier this month. He is coming off an impressive contest where he notched a hat trick in a commanding victory over San Diego Mesa on Friday morning. He started the game by scoring in the first minute which ultimately set the Hawks up for a victory. His three-goal effort was the highest in his career and currently contributes to his team-leading four goals on the season. He has amassed eight points on the season thus far.
