Rutgers Corboz named Player of the Week
Team of the week nominations can be sent to college@topdrawersoccer.com.
There were plenty of worthy candidates this week for top honors on the TopDrawerSoccer.com Player and Team of the Week list, but it was Rutgers sophomore Mael Corboz who stole the show with his eight-point performance.
The midfielder was instrumental in wins over South Carolina and Princeton over the course of the past week.
While he takes the spotlight, he’s just one of the 11 who made the TDS Team of the Week following the third week of the season.
