Jancauskas Named Offensive Player of the Week

CHICAGO, Ill. – The Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference announced their weekly Player of the Week awards on Tuesday. Freshman Jokubas Jancauskas of Klaipeda, Lithuania was named as the Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week.

Jancauskas' award comes after a strong first week of conference play for the freshman. In two games, he was able to tally up three goals and two assists, totaling eight points. Against Saint Xavier, he scored one goal. In their game against St. Ambrose, Jancauskas scored two goals within two minutes of each other.

This honor is the freshman's first of his career. It is also the first honor received for the men's soccer program of the season. The V-Hawks have not had an Offensive Player of the Week since October 17, 2023 when Sebastian Acosta earned the award.

Jancauskas currently leads the team in goals this season with seven. He also ties for the lead in assists with three. This season, he has taken 28 shots, landing 19 on goal, and scoring on seven of them, for an impressive 0.679 SOG percentage.

The V-Hawks defeated both opponents this weekend with the help of Jancauskas. Against Saint Xavier, they won 2-1, and against St. Ambrose, they won 6-1. The V-Hawks play again at home on Tuesday, September 30 at 3:30 against Indiana Northwest.
