Douglas striker named player of the week

Royals player came off the bench and scored three goals in two wins last weekend

Douglas College freshman Shahbaz Khattra was the PacWest men’s soccer player of the week following a five-point weekend for the first-place Royals.

Khattra came on as a second-half sub, scoring two goals and setting up a third in the Royals’ 3-0 win over Kwantlen University at Town Centre Stadium on Saturday.

The following day, Khattra again scored the game-winner and assisted on another in a 2-0 victory in a return match with the Eagles.

The back-to-back wins were the fifth and sixth in a row for the PacWest leaders. Khattra moved up to second in overall league scoring with five goals in eight games.

Douglas currently leads the PacWest standings with a 7-2-1 record.
