BOCA RATON, Fla. – Midfielder Sebastian Zettl and goalkeeper Nacho Alfaro have each been named to the American Conference men’s soccer weekly honor roll, the league announced on Monday.
Zettl scored both Owls’ goals in Sunday’s 3-2 defeat to Omaha. He gave the Owls a 1-0 advantage with a highlight reel strike from long distance in the 12th minute. His second of the night came with just over 20 minutes to go in the second half. The Owls’ captain entered the night with one career goal in 27 games.

Alfaro recorded a clean sheet on Thursday against Creighton and stood tall again on Sunday versus Omaha. The Mavericks’ first two goals were off a penalty kick and a free kick from just outside the box. The graduate senior finished the two-game road trip with 11 saves.
A pair of denials by Nacho to keep it 1-0…
