Every Monday during the season, a NESCAC Player of the Week will be selected based on information submitted by the athletic communications offices at member institutions.
 
NESCAC Men's Soccer Player of the Week
Elliot Spatz – Conn. College – Sr. – Forward – Bellevue, Wash.
Spatz led Conn. College to a 1-0-1 week. On Tuesday night, Spatz opened the scoring in a 2-0 win at Merchant Marine, as the Camels picked up their first win of the campaign. On Saturday at No. 17 Bowdoin, the Camels were trailing 1-0 late. However, Spatz stepped up, putting home the tying goal with just 100 seconds left, as the Camels earned the 1-1 draw.

NESCAC Weekly Honor Roll
Amherst – Rookie Leo Wilensky (Ann Arbor, Mich.) scored twice in the Mammoths' 3-1 win over Albertus Magnus, notching his first two collegiate goals, in a 1-0-1 week for Amherst, which included a scoreless tie versus Williams. 

Bates – A team captain and standout defender for the Bates men's soccer team, junior Noah Greiff (Washington, D.C.) scored his first collegiate goal on Saturday as the Bobcats defeated the University of Maine at Farmington, 4-0. Bates blanked both its opponents last week, also winning 4-0 on Tuesday over the University of New England. Thanks to Greiff and the Bates defense, Bobcat goalkeepers only had to make three saves last week. 
 
Bowdoin – Senior Mateo Pacelli (San Diego, Calif.) scored in both games last week for the Polar Bears, who defeated Husson and tied Connecticut College, remaining unbeaten on the season (3-0-1).

Colby Charlie Scott (Denver, Colo.) contributed to a pair of scores for Colby in its 2-1 victory over the University of Southern Maine on Tuesday. The junior assisted Colby's first score early in the second half to knot the game at 1-1 and scored the game-winner with 10 minutes to play despite the Mules playing a man down. Scott also helped Colby's defense turn away 14 shots and six corners in a 0-0 draw with Tufts.

Hamilton – Junior Patrick Ferrare (Montville, N.J.) scored goals in the 59th and 89th minutes as the Continentals rallied to forge a 2-2 tie at Wesleyan. The multi-goal game was Ferrare's first at Hamilton. The goal with 1:34 left came on a penalty kick after Ferrare drew a foul in the 18-yard box.

Middlebury – Senior Joey Waterman (North Andover, Mass.) held down the fort for the Panthers with consecutive shutouts in a 2-0-0 week. On Tuesday, the goalie made one stop to seal a 2-0 triumph over St. Lawrence. Waterman followed up with a season-high five saves to propel Middlebury to a 1-0 victory at Trinity. Through four contests, the goalie anchors a Panther defense that has not allowed a goal and leads the NESCAC with three shutouts.

Trinity – Rookie Tomas Ludvik (Prague, Czech Republic) registered his first collegiate goal, and the would-be game-winner, in a 2-0 victory over the University of Saint Joseph.

Williams – First-year goalkeeper Aleix Anglada (Dubai, United Arab Emirates) of the fifth-ranked Ephs earned his first two collegiate shutouts in a pair of NESCAC matchups last week. Anglada made a game-leading six saves in a 0-0 tie at No. 20 Amherst on Saturday, while also posting a game-high four stops in a 1-0 triumph at Hamilton on Tuesday.
