Senior midfielder Leonardo da Silva (Itajuba, Brazil) helped lead the Railsplitters to their second consecutive 5-0 victory on Saturday at Coker, scoring two goals and adding an assist. He is the first two-time Railsplitter of the Week for the 2015-16 academic year.
 
Da Silva scored in the 26th minute off of a free kick and headed home his second goal of the match in the 37th minute in Saturday's win over Coker to take over the South Atlantic Conference lead in goals scored with eight. He also assisted on a 43rd-minute goal by Nick Spielman, which capped a four-goal half for the Railsplitters.
