University of Dayton midfielder George Nanchoff (North Royalton, OH) was named Atlantic 10 Player of the Week for men's soccer after a five-point weekend in two UD wins. Nanchoff had a four-point night Friday in UD's 5-1 drubbing of Saint Joseph's and then set up the game-winning goal Sunday as the Flyers beat Temple, 2-1, to move into a tie for first in the A-10.

On Friday, a cross by Nanchoff led to the Flyers' second goal of a 5-1 rout over Saint Joseph's as Omar Jarun (Peachtree City, GA) headed the pass home. Later, Nanchoff sprung Aaron Swanson (Ft. Wayne, IN) which led to a goal by Chris Rolfe (Kettering, OH). Minutes later, Nanchoff came in on a breakaway and beat the keeper for his second goal of the season.

On Sunday, Nanchoff danced around a defender to get open and then served a cross for Nate Darr (Centerville, OH) to head home with the game-winner in the Flyers' 2-1 win over Temple.

The Flyers have won six of seven to move to 6-4-1 overall, and are in first in the Atlantic 10 with a 3-1-0 league mark. Dayton will travel to New England for A-10 road matches at Massachusetts on Friday at 3:00 p.m., and at Rhode Island on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. Live stats for both matches will be available at DaytonFlyers.com.
