Torrecilla's standout performance at the Puma Lafayette Classic earned him a spot on the All-Tournament Team, as he helped lead the Gaels to the in-season tournament championship.  The Spanish transplant recorded the second multi-goal game of his career with two tallies in a 4-3 overtime win over Mount St. Mary's.  Torrecilla scored once in the second half and knocked in the deciding goal in the 97th minute.  He led all players with four shots on goal in the contest.

In Marist's two games at Evansville's ProRehab Aces Soccer Classic, Skonieczny came up with two performances that earned him a spot on the All-Tournament team. On Friday versus Evansville, he posted the team's first shutout of the season, as he made six saves, including five down the stretch in the second half to preserve the one goal advantage. In the tournament's second game versus SIU-Edwardsville on Sunday, Skonieczny again came up with six saves with two coming in the first eight minutes of the game and two in the final five minutes of the game to hold on to the 1-1 decision. For the weekend, he finished with a 1-0-1 record, a 0.45 GAA and a .923 save percentage.
