Djeffal Earns Player of the Week Honor

CORVALLIS – Oregon State sophomore Sofiane Djeffal has been named Pac-12 Player of the Week, the conference office announced Tuesday.

Djeffal, who was named to the National Team of the Week by College Soccer News on Monday, scored two goals and tallied two assists in the Beavers' two Pac-12 wins. The midfielder started conference action by providing an assist on Joel Walker's third-minute goal vs. UCLA. He followed that up with a goal of his own late in the first half. Sunday Djeffal converted a penalty kick early in the second half to level the score, before assisting on the game-winner just minutes later.

The native of Nantes, France, is second in the Pac-12 with 11 points on the season, on three goals and five assists. Djeffal was an All-Pac-12 Preseason selection, after he was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Year in 2018. He is already tied for ninth in Oregon State history with 12 assists.

As a team, the Beavers are 2-0 in Pac-12 play and 5-3 on the season. Oregon State has won eight-straight Pac-12 home matches, in a streak that dates back to 2017.

The Beavers will return to nonconference play next Sunday, when UC Davis visits Lorenz Field.
