Emil Kischka of Cal State LA has picked up the season’s first FloCollege/CCAA Men’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week award after leading the team to two shutouts.

Kischka and the Golden Eagles were dominant on defense as LA blanked Concordia 1-0 and shutout Vanguard 4-0 to start the 2026 campaign.

The junior defender from Braunschweig, Germany, was the best Golden Eagle in the backline, limiting Concordia to just one shot on goal and held Vanguard to two total shots. Kischka also scored a goal during Saturday’s win versus Vanguard.

The Golden Eagles were the only team to record two clean sheets last week. Click here to see the complete CCAA stats leaders.
