Weiss Named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week, Brown Named to College Soccer News Team of the Week

EVANSTON, Ill. – After collecting two wins against local foes, a pair of Northwestern men's soccer Seniors took home weekly honors. Justin Weiss was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week, while Rom Brown was selected to College Soccer News Men's National Team of the Week.
 
Weiss earns the honor after a spectacular week, tallying three goals and two assists across two games. On Friday night, Weiss notched an assist on Rom Brown's 90^th minute game-winning goal in a 2-1 thriller over NIU.
 
For an encore, Weiss followed that up with a 7-point outing against UIC, including the first hat trick by a Wildcat since Camden Buescher did so in 2018. Weiss contributed on all four NU goals in a 4-1 win over UIC.
 
Brown picks up National Team of the Week honors after tallying three goals, including both Wildcat goals in the win over NIU.
