The sophomore from Sweden scored the first and third goals in North Park’s 3-0 victory over Elmhurst, which earned North Park the No. 1 seed in the CCIW Men’s Soccer Tournament. On Saturday, in a non-conference match-up with Lake Forest, he scored the first goal and assisted on the second as North Park went on to win 2-0. It was the Vikings’ fourth straight win and improved their record to 5-1-1 in the conference and 9-6-1 overall.
Eriksson’s recognition marks the fourth straight week that a Viking athlete – all soccer players – was named Player of the Week. Elvis Fikic and Abbie Frank earned the recognition in previous weeks. Viking punter Brandon Watts was named football Special Teams Player of the Week in September.
The Viking soccer team plays its first match of the tournament against Carthage at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Holmgren Athletic Complex.
