The Spartan Club at Case Western Reserve University, which includes alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends of the university, is dedicated to upholding the rich athletic tradition of the institution and providing support to current student-athletes. Each week, outstanding athletes are recognized for their exceptional performances. This week, Bradley Winter, a junior goalkeeper on the men’s soccer team, and Sydney Schenk, a senior midfielder on the women’s soccer team, have been named the Spartan Club Athletes of the Week.
Winter showcased his talent by securing his second consecutive shutout in the Spartans’ 1-0 victory over Lycoming. With seven shots faced and two saves made, Winter played a pivotal role in keeping the opposition at bay for the entire match. This victory marked his second shutout of the season and the 10th of his career, a significant achievement that places him among the top goalkeepers in program history. Maintaining an impressive record, Winter has only conceded one goal in three games this season, boasting a 0.333 goals against average and an 0.857 save percentage.
On the women’s soccer team, Schenk delivered a stellar performance during the Spartans’ recent road trip to the Pacific Northwest. Scoring crucial goals in both matches, Schenk played a key role in the team’s success. Her quick goal in the win over Puget Sound and the game-tying goal against Pacific Lutheran showcased her skill and determination. With four points from two goals this season and a total of six points in her career, Schenk’s contributions have been invaluable to the team’s 2-0-1 record.
Looking ahead, the Spartans will continue their athletic endeavors with upcoming matches. The men’s soccer team, led by standout player Kysen Kroeger, will strive for further success, while the women’s volleyball team, guided by Rea Marfatia, aims to maintain its winning streak. Additionally, the cross country teams, featuring top performers Aidan Nathan and Ashley Novak, are set to compete in upcoming meets, showcasing their dedication and skill in the sport.
