COLONIA, N.J. – On Monday, the East Coast Conference announced its eighth Men's Soccer Weekly Report of the 2026 season, with three Queens College Knights earning conference recognition for their performances during the week of Oct. 12–18.
 
Junior Kleverson Bolanos earned his first Offensive Player of the Week honor and second overall weekly accolade of the season. Last week, Bolanos starred for Queens during a 1-0-1 week, recording four points on one goal and two assists, including the game-winner. Bolanos opened the week with a career-high three-point performance, tallying his second goal and third assist of the season in the Knights' 2-1 victory over Adelphi University. With 17 seconds remaining, the junior curled a shot from approximately 15 yards out into the top-left corner, beating the Adelphi goalkeeper to secure the dramatic victory. In Saturday's 2-2 ECC draw against Molloy University, Bolanos recorded his fourth assist of the season, setting up senior Andrew Johnson's goal as the Knights scored twice in a span of 34 seconds.
 
Senior Keithlend Cesar earned his third Honor Roll recognition of the season. Last week, Cesar recorded three points during Queens' 1-0-1 week, tallying one goal and one assist. With 17 seconds remaining against Adelphi, Cesar set up Bolanos, who curled a shot into the top-left corner to secure the Knights' 2-1 victory. On Saturday, in the 2-2 draw against Molloy, Cesar scored an Olimpico goal directly from a corner kick on the right side of the pitch to record his sixth goal of the season.
 
Senior Anton Mand earned his third weekly accolade of the season after previously earning Defensive Player of the Week honors twice. Last week, Mand helped Queens post a 1-0-1 record, recording one assist. In the 2-1 victory over Adelphi, Mand registered his second assist of the season on Jason Udo's equalizer in the 63rd minute. With the score tied at 1-1, Mand and the backline limited Adelphi to two shots on goal over the final 25 minutes to help secure the comeback victory. On Saturday, Mand and the backline held Molloy without a shot in the first half before limiting the Lions to one shot on goal over the final 25 minutes of the 2-2 draw, as both sides earned a point in the ECC standings.
