ORLANDO, Fla.  Palm Beach Atlantic men's soccer Tin Vastic has been named the Sunshine State Conference Offensive Player of the Week. Vastic helped lead the offensive efforts for the Sailfish as they climb to a 5-0 record and 1-0 start in SSC play. 

Over the past week, Vastic has recorded six goals and one assist for a total of 13 points. He recorded three game winning goals, a hat trick against Wingate, and a brace against Saint Leo.

Against Wingate, Vastic's first goal came in the first 13 minutes of play. A pass across the box to Tin saw him juke out the goalkeeper to give PBA a 1-0 lead. His second goal came in the 52nd minute of play where he split between three defenders before burying the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal for a 2-0 PBA advantage. Vastic recorded the hat trick in the 65th minute after Niklas Mahler sent the ball across the box to secure the 3-0 victory.

Against Lenoir-Rhyne, Vastic recorded his lone assist of the week after passing the ball up field to Fabio Reck to give PBA a 1-0 lead in the 61st minute. In the 72nd minute, he notched his fourth goal of the week on a pass across the box to elevate PBA to 2-0.

Against Saint Leo, Vastic recorded the equalizer in the 62nd minute on a long ball up field from Paul Danner. He drilled the ball past the defender to even the match at 1-1. With time running out, another long ball pass across the box to Vastic set him up to secure the 2-1 victory over the Lions.

The Sailfish will be back in action at Tampa in Tampa, Fla. on Saturday, September 27. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. (EST).
