Two members of the Charlotte 49ers nationally-ranked men’s and women’s soccer programs have been named A-10 Player of the Week for this week. For the second time this season, men’s soccer’s Adam Gross and women’s forward Whitney Weinraub were named Player of the Week in the same week.
Gross earned the Atlantic 10 honor for the second time this season after his efforts last weekend against La Salle and Fordham. Gross scored a goal in Charlotte’s 3-0 win over La Salle on Friday. He then scored the first goal for Charlotte in a 2-2 double-overtime tie against Fordham on Senior Day.
Gross is tied for third in the A-10 and leads Charlotte in the goal-scoring category with a career-high seven on the season. He also leads Charlotte in assists with six, which ranks him second in the conference.
Gross will lead nationally-ranked 49ers on the road this weekend as they take on A-10 foes Dayton and Xavier.
Whitney Weinraub earned A-10 Player of the Week for the third time this season for her efforts in the 49ers’ road wins against Temple and St. Joseph’s last weekend. The junior forward had two goals and two assists in Charlotte’s two wins. Weinraub had a goal and two assists in Charlotte’s 5-0 win over Temple, Friday. She then scored the game-winning goal in a 3-1 win against St. Joseph’s on Sunday.
Weinraub leads the A-10 in points with 32 and has a career-high 13 goals to lead the conference. Her 13 goals this season rank as the fourth highest single-season total in team history. Her 31 career goals tie her for third on the program’s all-time goal scoring list.
Weinraub will lead the 49ers as they look to claim their fourth straight A-10 regular-season title when they play their final regular season game on the road at St. Louis, Friday, Oct. 30.
