StFX University
1st year
Zatek, Czech Republic
Martin Vlk of the CIS No. 9-ranked StFX X-Men soccer team is the Atlantic University Sport Subway Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending September 11th, 2011. Vlk, a first-year midfielder from Zatec, Czech Republic, scored the first two goals of his university career in the X-Men’s 4-3 come-from-behind road victory over the Acadia Axemen Sunday afternoon in Wolfville. After falling behind by a score of 3-1 just 30 minutes into the contest, Martin found the back of the net late in the first half to pull the X-Men to within a goal. He then added the game-tying goal midway through the second half as StFX went on to complete the comeback with an exciting 4-3 win. Vlk, an Arts student, is tied for the league lead in scoring after the first weekend of play.
