Pearse named Player of the Week

Victoria's Matthew Pearse has been named the Canada West men's soccer Player of the Week. 

Pearse provided the heroics in a 3-2 comeback win over the MacEwan Griffins last Friday. With his team down 2-1, Pearse equalized in the 70th minute, receiving a cross from teammate Jordan Mckinty and slipping it past the goalkeeper. He then scored the game winner just eight minutes later, taking a pass from Remi Barbot to the centre of the box and drilling it past the Griffins' goalkeeper. The win marked the first time this season the Vikes have come back from a goal deficit to win.

Pearse and his teammates proceeded to sweep the weekend with a 3-0 win over Calgary the following day.
