CONNOR SILVESTRI OF HENDRIX COLLEGE, a freshman midfielder from Conway, Ark., has been selected as the SCAC Men's Soccer Offensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played from Monday, August 31 through Sunday, September 6.

Silvestri had an outstanding weekend to start his collegiate career totaling five goals against East Texas Baptist University and Louisiana College.

Silvestri scored the Warriors’ game-winner against ETBU off a free kick from sophomore Colin Thompson in Friday night’s second overtime, and then connected on four goals against Louisiana College on Saturday.

Silvestri had his hat trick within the first 22 minutes and outscored Hendrix’s 2008 leading scorer, senior Will Brown (three goals), in one game. Silvestri also helped Hendrix match its 2008 season goal total (13) in their first weekend of 2009.
