Rafael Bonilla-Climaco Named MWC Defensive Performer of the Week
Posted: Oct 31, 2022
Lake Forest College men's soccer player Rafael Bonilla-Climaco was named Midwest Conference Defensive Performer of the Week on Monday for his performance in Saturday's 2-0 triumph at Grinnell College.
Bonilla-Climaco, a junior, led the Foresters' efforts at the defensive end of the field. He and the rest of the team kept the Pioneers, who entered the game as the league's top-scoring team during conference play, off the scoreboard and limited them to just three shots on goal in the contest.
The victory raised the Foresters' MWC record to 5-1-2 and made them conference champions for the 18th time in program history.
Lake Forest allowed a total of just five goals in eight league contests this fall while every other team in the MWC conceded at least 10.
MWC Performers of the Week are selected by the sports information directors in the conference.
