William Nyambo, attacking midfielder for the San Diego Christian College Men’s Soccer team, was named GSAC Offensive Player of the Week by GSAC. Nyambo earned the title with his one goal and two assist performances against William Jessup University last week, giving the Hawks their first conference win in over two years.
“We as a group are proud of Willy and this terrific accomplishment,” Cameron Riley, Head Coach for the San Diego Christian College Men’s Soccer Team, said. “We as a group know that it’s a team award as well. It is great Willy is getting recognized for his abilities on the field, it shows the program is going in the right direction.”
Nyambo is a starter and leads the SDCC men’s soccer team in goals (9) and assists (4). He is a junior and a Communications major with an emphasis in Biblical Studies. He is one of eighteen team members that Riley recruited from all over the world. Riley not only sought to recruit men with talent and skill, but men of character. Close to half of the team players are first-generation students who have formed a resilience, strength and humility in them that only life can teach.
Nyambo is from Malawi, Africa and was recruited from African Bible College. Riley heard of Nyambo through a friend and recruited him for the men’s soccer team. Nyambo has proven not only to be a key player, but someone who greatly contributes to the success and character of the team both on and off the field.
“Willy is extremely reserved; he lets his play really do the talking for him. He is the engine and the creative factor in the team and if we need something in a special moment, he will come up with it,” Riley said. “He always positions himself to assist other players to be better and have success.”
