Pac-12 and Top Drawer Soccer honor Beaver standouts
CORVALLIS – Oregon State senior Don Tchilao and redshirt-freshman Kolade Salaudeen both received weekly honors, which were announced on Tuesday. Tchilao was tabbed as Pac-12 Player of the Week, while Salaudeen was named to the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Week.
Tchilao recorded a goal and an assist in last Monday's matchup with Sacramento State, helping the Beavers take a 2-1 victory over the Hornets. The speech communcation major also nearly lifted the Oregon State over Xavier on Friday, hitting the post with a curling shot in the 90th minute.
The Chandler, Ariz. native leads the Beavers with two goals this season. The weekly honor marks Tchilao's first ever Pac-12 Player of the Week nod, and the first this season for OSU. The senior was named to the Pac-12 All-Preseason Team this year, after making the all-conference second team last season.
Salaudeen anchored an Oregon State defense that allowed just one goal over the course of two matches. He earned Man of the Match honors in the Beavers' 2-1 win over Sacramento State on Monday, and helped the Beavers keep a shutout for 110 minutes vs. Xavier on Friday in a 0-0 draw.
The defender, who is majoring in management, has played all 380 minutes for the Beavers this season after redshirting the 2017 campaign.
The Beavers have started the 2018 season with a record of 2-1-1, including a road win over Penn State on Monday, a game that was not part of Tchilao or Salaudeen's weekly honor. Oregon State will be back at Lorenz Field Friday, when it hosts CSU Bakersfield at 7 p.m.
