In what was a solid week for Bradley Soccer, three individuals had stellar match weeks, resulting in a clean sweep of the Missouri Valley Conference's Men's Soccer Weekly Honors.

Bradley continues to add to its list of weekly honors, with Mitch Coughlon, Anel Kafedzic and Marçal Salom Chandre all being named Players of the Week. It's the first time since 2018 that Bradley has swept the MVC Weekly Honors and the first time Bradley has swept all three honors in a season following the MVC's addition of Goalkeeper of the Week in 2026.

Player of the Week: Mitch Coughlon
Coughlon was nearly unstoppable for Bradley this past match week. In BU's road contest against top-110 side SIUE, the senior was the focal point of SIUE's defensive efforts. In his 68 minutes of action, Coughlon still managed to make an impact despite being heavily marked. Coughlon registered two shots, one of which was on goal, and nearly opened the scoring within the first 10 minutes.

Against Chicago State, Coughlon wouldn't have to wait long to capitalize in front of goal, scoring inside the first three minutes for the second time this season. His efforts in the final third didn't end there, as late in the first half, on a breakaway chance, he opted to lay a short cross back to his freshman teammate Braden Missey, who headed it over the line for his first career goal.

Coughlon ended his week playing 141 of 180 possible minutes and recorded one goal, one assist and seven total shots, five of which were on goal, for a shooting percentage of 71%. This is the second Player of the Week honor for Coughlon in 2026.

Defender of the Week: Anel Kafedzic
Bradley defender Anel Kafedzic earned his first weekly honor, being tabbed as the MVC's Defensive Player of the Week. Kafedzic started both matches for BU this past week, totaling 143 minutes and recording one goal and three shots.

More importantly, he was crucial in Bradley's 1-1 draw against SIUE, where the Bradley goal was pressured by a total of 16 shots. In the next match against Chicago State, Kafedzic was able to be a part of the Bradley attack, smashing a header into the net off a corner kick to collect his second goal of the season. That total is tied for second-most on the team and tied for second-most among defenders in the MVC.

Goalkeeper of the Week: Marçal Salom Chandre
For the second time this season, Marçal Salom Chandre was named the MVC's Men's Soccer Goalkeeper of the Week. Salom Chandre had a strong week in goal for BU, ending his two contests with a 0.52 goals-against average, five saves and 173 minutes played, along with a combined shutout.

Against SIUE, he made three saves on 16 shots faced and recorded a number of timely stops on Cougar set pieces before surrendering what would be a great strike from roughly 20 yards out. He followed that up with a two-save effort against Chicago State on five shots faced. Salom Chandre's day ended late in the second half, and he is credited with a combined shutout alongside Mitchell Barrett.

Bradley Soccer will be back in action this coming Friday when they hit the road for their MVC opener against the UIC Flames. Bradley supporters can tune in on ESPN+ at 7:00 for the match or following along on Bradley Soccer social media accounts for live in game updates.
