Kevin Velasquez Named IEAC Athlete of the Week

Chaffey College freshman Kevin Velasquez has been named the Inland Empire Athletic Conference (IEAC) Athlete of the Week following his impressive performances for men's soccer during the week of September 1-6.

As a forward, Velasquez delivered a two-goal performance in the Panthers' dominant 5-0 win over San Diego Mesa College on September 3. He capitalized in the 32^nd minute and added his second goal in the 57^th minute to extend Chaffey's lead. Velasquez also played a key role in helping the Panthers rally late to earn a 2-2 draw with Santa Barbara City College on September 5.

The IEAC praised Velasquez's impact, "His ability to get in behind defenders and finish chances has been key to Chaffey's early offensive success. Through the first two weeks, Kevin has been a consistent threat in the final third and an important part of the attack."
