COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (October 21, 2025) — Following an outstanding two-win weekend, the No. 23 CSU Pueblo men's soccer team swept this week's Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) Player of the Week awards. Nick Cenek (Gr., Peoria, Ill.) was named Offensive Player of the Week, Joseph Delaney (Fr., Sutton, England) earned Defensive Player of the Week, and Esteban Gonzalez (Jr., Brussels, Belgium) was selected Goalkeeper of the Week, marking a complete ThunderWolves takeover of the conference's weekly honors.
Cenek led the Pack's offensive explosion with an incredible five goals and one assist in two matches, propelling CSU Pueblo to victories over Adams State (4-2) and No. 18 Fort Lewis (5-0). The graduate forward netted a hat trick in the shutout win over the Skyhawks and added two goals and one assist against the Grizzlies. He finished the weekend with 11 total points (5G, 1A) and a .750 shots-on-goal percentage, helping the ThunderWolves outscore their opponents 9-2 over the two matches.
Stat Line: 2 GP, 131 MIN, 5 G, 1 A, 11 PTS, .625 SH%, .750 SOG%, 1 GWG
Delaney was a force on both ends of the field, anchoring a defense that allowed just two goals in 180 minutes while also contributing one goal and four assists. The freshman midfielder tallied two assists in each match and added a goal in Sunday's shutout at Fort Lewis. His leadership in the middle of the pitch helped limit opponents to just 15 total shots and five on target across both contests.
Stat Line: 2 GP, 95 MIN, 1 G, 4 A, 6 PTS, 3 SOG, 1 GWG
Between the posts, Gonzalez capped the weekend with a clean sheet at Fort Lewis. The junior goalkeeper played 85:26 minutes in the 5-0 win, recording two saves and maintaining a perfect 1.000 save percentage. His composure and command of the backline guided CSU Pueblo to its most dominant defensive performance of the season.
Stat Line: 1 GP, 85:26 MIN, 0 GA, 2 SV, 1.000 SV%, 1-0-0, 1 SHO
The ThunderWolves improved to 6-1-7 overall and 2-1-3 in RMAC play.
Up next, CSU Pueblo returns home to Gonzales Stadium to host MSU Denver on Thursday in a pivotal RMAC matchup. Kickoff is set for 7PM.
