This past week of college soccer was full of great individual performances. There were players stepping with game-winning tallies in overtime, midfielders supplying all of the assists in come-from-behind victories, and defenders leaping to the occasion to clear danger in close encounters. However, it is difficult to top the performances from one goalkeeper, who willed his team to a pair of draws over the week. 

TDS Player of the Week: Ryan Herman, Washington

Previous Teams of the Week: Sept. 1 | Sept. 8 | Sept. 15 | Sept. 22 | Sept. 29 | Oct. 5

TDS Team of the Week (Oct. 5-11)

GK Ryan Herman, Washington - The Huskies went on the road and picked up a pair of draws thanks to their goalkeeper. Herman made 11 saves in a scoreless draw against Stanford. A number of those saves were high quality stops to keep the Cardinal off the scoreboard. He followed that up with five saves on Sunday as Washington recorded a scoreless draw against California. He came up with two result saving blocks in that contest

D Iman Mafi, Clemson - Mafi scored the game-winning goal Charlotte on a penalty kick on Tuesday. He added another goal on Friday as Clemson took down Louisville in ACC action. The Tigers are 3-1-1 in conference play thanks to the efforts of Mafi and the rest of the defense. 

D Cole Seiler, Georgetown - Seiler scored his first goal of the season on Saturday in Georgetown’s 2-0 win over Butler. Seiler put in the goal early in the second half to double the Hoyas’ lead. He was a key part of the defense that shut out Butler on the day. 

D Brendan Hines-Ike, South Florida - Hines-Ike scored on Saturday in South Florida’s 3-0 win over Cincinnati. It was Hines-Ike’s second goal of the season. He also did an excellent job of shutting down Cincinnati’s attack, which only managed three shots on goal in the game.
