Tallied two goals in Canisius' 3-0 victory over Robert Morris in its season opener on Friday ... Scored an insurance marker in the 25th minute and closed out the scoring with a penalty kick goal in the 77th minute. The two-goal performance matched his career high, set twice during the 2017 campaign.
Defensive Player of the Week
Marcellin Gohier, Manhattan
Jr., Nantes, France/CENS
Gohier anchored the Jasper defense, posting a 2-0 record. The junior notched a pair of saves in a 3-1 victory over California Baptist on August 27. He then blanked defending NEC Champion St. Francis Brooklyn with five saves in his second shutout of the year on August 30. The Frenchman now ranks T2 in program history with nine shutouts.
Rookie of the Week
Aaron Martin, Siena
Fr., Madrid, Spain/ IES Gerardo Diego
Martin scored the equalizer late in the second half to rally Siena to a 1-1 road draw at Holy Cross Friday night. The freshman knotted the score with his 75th-minute blast from just outside the top of 18, which he placed under the crossbar. The goal was the second of the young season for the two-time MAAC Rookie of the Week who has totaled five points over his first three collegiate matches. Martin is the first Siena Rookie to win back-to-back Men’s Soccer Player of the Week. This is the first time since 2009 that Siena has claimed back-to-back Rookie of the Week honors—Matthew Kadoch (10/19/09) and Emery Welshman (10/26/09).
