ARLINGTON, Texas – Seattle U’s Lennard Fock, Utah Valley’s Tom Dobek-Pietrowski and California Baptist’s Nolan Premack have been named the TicketSmarter Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Men’s Soccer Offensive Player, Defensive Player and Goalkeeper of the Week, for the match week ending on Monday, Oct. 30.
 
Fock, a graduate student forward, scored three goals in the final week of the regular season to help guide Seattle U to an unbeaten WAC conference season. Fock notched a brace that featured goals in the 48th and 52nd minutes of an impressive 7-1 win for the Redhawks at Utah Tech on Oct. 26. Fock later added the match-winner in the 60th minute of an eventual 2-1 win at UNLV on Oct. 29.
 
Dobek-Pietrowski, a graduate student defender, and the Utah Valley defense played a pivotal role in a pair of draws during the regular season’s final week to lock up a WAC Tournament berth. The Wolverines prevented CBU from scoring a goal in the run of play on the way to a 1-1 draw on Oct. 26 and limited Grand Canyon to only two shots on goal and five overall in a 2-2 draw to close the regular season on Oct. 30.
 
Premack, a senior goalkeeper, continued his momentum during the second half of the year as the conference leader in saves (8) and save percentage (.727) during the league season’s final week. Premack made four saves and did not allow a goal in the run of play during a 1-1 draw at Utah Valley on Oct. 26. Premack added four saves to earn a 3-2 win at Air Force on Oct. 29.
