Fas Gas RDP Athlete of the Week for October 24, 2022

For his performance on the pitch as well as the hard court this past weekend, second-year striker and forward Eduardo Crespo is named the Kings Player of the Week. On Saturday, Crespo was a busy student-athlete with a soccer game in Red Deer at 2 pm and a basketball game in Calgary at 8 pm. When the Kings played the Olds College Broncos in the final regular season soccer game, Crespo was a crucial player in the teams 3-3 draw. He picked up the assist on the first goal but when the Kings went down 3-1, it was Crespo who took the team on his shoulders. He picked up two more assists on the final two goals in the last eight minutes of the match to come away with an all-important draw against the Broncos. This draw gave the Kings home field advantage in the play-in game.

After this game finished, Crespo immediately drove off to Calgary to take part in the Kings game against the St. Mary’s University Lightning where he was a part of the starting five. He was not awarded a player of the game in this match, but he did finish off with 12 points, six rebounds and three assists. It was his leadership and playing ability that kept the Kings in it against the Lightning in the fourth quarter.

Congratulations!
