MSOC: Keeper Kamna Earns BAA, NWC HM Honors for Oct. 19-25

NEWBERG, Ore. - A stellar effort by Danny Kamna in a 2-1 win over Whitman College on Oct. 25 has earned the Bruins' goalkeeper Bruin Athletic Association Men's Athlete of the Week honors for Oct. 19-25, as well as honorable mention for Northwest Conference Men's Soccer Defensive Student-Athlete of the Week. 

Kamna, a sophomore from Hillsboro, Ore., was instrumental in preserving the Bruins'win, which snapped a five-game losing streak and improved them to 5-11 on the season.  He made a career-high 10 saves, including a spectacular stop of an indirect free kick by the Missionaries' Todd Wallenius from 10 yards away by throwing his entire body in the way of the wicked shot.  He evened his personal record in goal this season at 2-2, with 19 saves in four matches and a .679 save percentage. 

The Athlete of the Week Award for both men and women is presented throughout the Bruin sports seasons by the Bruin Athletic Association, whose mission is to provide George Fox student-athletes with an outstanding athletic and academic experience and to strengthen the overall competitiveness of the Bruin athletics program.  For more information about the organization or to become a member, visit the Bruin Athletic Association website.
