NESCAC Men's Soccer Player of the Week
Niall Murphy – Amherst - Sr. - MF – Cambridge, Mass.
Murphy scored once and his persistent pressure on the ball allowed the Mammoths to post back-to-back 1-0 wins over Bates and Colby in a conference trip to Maine. Murphy's lone goal came in the 84th minute in an eventual 1-1 tie with No. 20 Babson. The Beavers took a 1-0 lead in the 81st minute, but Murphy’s equalizer minutes later allowed Amherst to earn the draw. Murphy's efforts in midfield contributed to the Mammoths allowing only five total shots on goal (3 vs. Bates, 2 vs. Colby), just one shot on goal in the second halves combined, in Amherst’s back-to-back shutout wins. 

NESCAC Weekly Honor Roll
Bates – Junior Sebastian Iacovitti's (Florence, Italy) soaring header of a cross from senior Tife Agunloye (Monroe, Conn.) snapped a scoreless tie with just 55 ticks remaining on Tuesday night as Bates upended No. 15 nationally ranked Bowdoin 1-0. It was the Bobcats’ first win at home over Bowdoin since 1999.
 
Bowdoin - Junior Felipe Rueda Duran (Beaverton, Ore.) scored with 37 minutes remaining to salvage a 1-1 tie for the Polar Bears against Hamilton on Saturday.

Colby – Sophomore Colin Leon (Fort Washington, Pa.) tallied his first goal of the season Tuesday night against Endicott. The strike in the 77th minute broke a 0-0 deadlock and proved to be the game-winner as Colby sealed its third shutout of the season with the 1-0 win.  

Connecticut College - Forward Matt Scoffone (Thornton, Pa.) continued his strong play, as Conn. College picked up a win and draw last week, to extend the Camels' unbeaten streak to six games.
