Men's soccer midfielder Mashhood Rehman and Women's soccer midfielder Cynthia Pellegrino have been named Huskies Athletes of the Week for the period ending October 9, 2022.
Mashhood Rehman (Men's Soccer)
Midfielder Mashhood Rehman scored a goal in the Huskies 3-1 victory over the Fleming Knights and had two assists in a tough 3-2 loss to the Seneca Sting. Overall, Rehman has had a rock-solid year for the Huskies.
The 3rd year Honours Bachelor of Technology (Construction Management) student has played in nine games this season getting the start six times for the Huskies. So far during the 2022-23 campaign Rehman has scored two goals (one being a game-winning goal), collected five assists and has nine points. He has contributed to every game this season for the Huskies; getting to his spots, finding an open teammate, outrunning his defender, and putting pressure on the ball forcing the opponent into a mistake.
Cynthia Pellegrino (Women's Soccer)
In the Huskies 8-0 victory over Fleming Knights, Pellegrino had one goal, one assist and contributed several times to the Huskies 22 total shots on goal in the winning effort. In Saturday's closely contested 1-0 loss to the undefeated Seneca Sting, the 5th year midfielder was instrumental in locking down the Sting's attack and limiting their chances to connect cleanly on passes through the midfield.
The veteran has been a workhorse all season, playing the best soccer of her post-secondary career recording three goals, four assists and 10 points. Pellegrino will suit up in her last regular season game for the Huskies when they play the Fleming Knights on Sunday October 16, 2022 at 1pm at Esther Shiner Stadium.
