Knight of the Month - Nikolas Mansourain
Congratulations to Nikolas Mansourian, our December Athlete of the Month and a standout member of St. Francis Soccer.
Nik has come out of the gate on fire this season and continues to prove that team first is not just a phrase, it is how he plays the game. Willing to do whatever it takes to win, Nik has embraced every role asked of him and delivered at a high level each time. His leadership has been outstanding, especially for a sophomore, and his calm presence on the field is well beyond his years.
“I enjoy watching Nik on the field as he always seems to be under control and looking to find open teammates while still looking for his time to shoot on goal. Off the field, always friendly and an all around good young man to be around.”
— Interim Athletic Director Todd Wolfson
“Nik has been the ultimate team player playing any position to help the team and playing at a high level at all of them. As a sophomore playing his first year on varsity, he has been tremendous. The free kick goal from 30 yards out was a special addition to an outstanding start to the season for Nik.”
— Head Coach Glen Appels
The Golden Knights return to action on December 29 at the Hawks Invitational, opening tournament play against Mission Viejo. If Nik’s early season form is any indication, buckle up. Big things ahead
