Pedelson Finda Named Player of the Week

Graceland University Men's Soccer's Pedelson Finda was named Heart Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week by the Heart of America Athletic Conference Monday, Sept. 28.

Head coach Bryan Courtney said, "Pedelson worked really hard this offseason with no guarantees that we would even be able to play. I am very happy to see his diligence and hard work pay off for himself as well as our team."

Finda commented, "I'm beyond blessed to receive this honor in one of the best conferences in the NAIA. This award is a result of hard work, dedication, passion and love for the game. Although this was an individual award, I wouldn't be able to accomplish without the endless support and camaraderie from my coach and teammates. We are one family that prevails together, win or lose. Therefore, this is not my award, this is ours!"

Each week, award winners are nominated by members of the Heart and selected by a voting panel of member institution Sports Information Directors.
