Dual Effort Gives Fusion's Graf USL Player Of The Week Recognition

Ventura County Fusion forward Jochem Graf was named Thursday the USL Premier Development League's Player of the Week after serving dual roles in games last week.

Last Thursday, Graf, despite never playing the position before, served as the emergency goalkeeper in a 2-1 victory over the BYU Cougars when starter San Hayden was injured in the 20th minute.

That Saturday, he started for the first time in his normal position and scored two goals in a 4-1 win over the Ogden Outlaws.
