ALISO VIEJO, Calif. --- The Great Southwest Athletic Conference announced its weekly conference player of the week winners Monday afternoon, tabbing Park University Gilbert's Brody Donovan as the GSAC Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week presented by Athletic Solutions.
Park-Gilbert men's soccer claimed its first GSAC Player of the Week award this season offensively or defensively. This news comes shortly after the GSAC named Donovan the conference's newcomer of the year on Sunday afternoon.
The transfer from Mesa Community College earned offensive player of the week honors after netting two goals in Park-Gilbert's lone contest last week against Embry-Riddle, a contest the Buccaneers won by a score of 2-1 last Thursday on the road. The upset over the ERAU Eagles helped the Buccaneers secure the No. 3 seed in the 2026 GSAC Championship.
Brody achieved this feat despite only logging 53 minutes in the match, recording three shots and shooting 1.000 on his two shots on goal. On the season, the Gilbert, Ariz. native now has 11 goals, seven assists, and five game-winners on the season.
Donovan and the Buccaneers return to the field this Monday, Nov. 2 at 6 p.m. MST, when they host the No. 6 seed Soka University on Field 14 at Arizona Athletic Grounds in Mesa, Ariz.
