BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – Two Gardner-Webb men's soccer players have earned weekly honors from the Big South Conference. Severin Soerlie was tabbed the Attacking Player of the Week, while Oskar Wang was selected Freshman of the Week for their performances in the Runnin' Bulldogs lone match this week as they collected a 5-4 win in 2OT against No. 8 Furman. Soerlie also was selected with the high honor as a member of the National Team of the Week.
Soerlie, a redshirt sophomore forward from Drammen, Norway helped lead Gardner-Webb to victory Saturday night as his offensive efforts included two goals and an assist in the match against Furman.
Soerlie found the back of the net in the 33rd minute with a header off a corner kick for his first goal. While the match remained tied after the first overtime period, Soerlie netted his second goal of the match in the 102nd minute to defeat Furman. Soerlie also added an assist in the 23rd minute on a thru ball for Magnus Moldjord.
Oskar Wang, a freshman forward from Neshollen, Norway scored his second goal of the season in the 69th minute against Furman with a sliding shot on a low cross from the left side of the field to give GWU the 4-3 lead at that point in the match.
Gardner-Webb returns to action on Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 7:00 PM as they travel to Lynchburg, VA for their conference opener against Liberty.
