Angel Hernandez has been a steady force for the Linfield back line. His 90-minute effort against La Verne and Pomona-Pitzer earned Northwest Conference Men's
Soccer Defensive Student-Athlete of the Week.
 
The 2022 Linfield defensive MVP from Kelso, Wash., leads the Wildcats in minutes played this season with 360 and has been credited with one goal.
