LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV's Danny Musovski played his best with his team's postseason lives on the life and was rewarded for his performance as he was named the WAC Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday. It is the first weekly conference honor in his two-year career, and he is the fourth Rebel to be named this year, as three more Rebels have earned defensive player honors.
A native of Las Vegas, the striker scored the first two goals of the game, midway through the first half and in the opening minutes of the second half to give UNLV a 2-0 advantage in its eventual 4-0 win at Grand Canyon on Nov. 6. That win gve the Rebels the third seed in the conference tournament, while a loss would have knocked the team out of this week's event that only takes the top six in the standings.
The two goals gave Musovski 14 for the season, the most by a Rebel since 1990, and ranks him third in the nation. He is also second in the NCAA with seven game-winners. His 32 total points lead the WAC as well.
The Rebels, 11-6-1, open up play in this week's WAC Tournament on Thursday against sixth-seed San Jose State at 2:30 pm (PT) in Kansas City, Mo.
