GNAC Men's Soccer Report: Week 4

(FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 17-23)

	PLAYER OF THE WEEK Cody Elliott, Saint Joseph's (Maine) (Junior, M - Gorham, Maine) Elliott put forth an impressive effort in a win over Regis (Mass.) on Saturday, as the junior midfielder played a hand in all four of the Monks' goals with a tally and three assists. With his first helper versus the Pride, Elliott broke the Monks' career assists record and now has 24 assists in just 49 games over three seasons.
	GOALKEEPER OF THE WEEK Anes Gadun, St. Joseph (Conn.) (Fr., GK - Clinton, Conn.) Gadun helped lead the Blue Jays to an unbeaten GNAC week (1-0-1) after stopping 15 of 16 shots for a .938 save percentage. The lone goal he surrendered on the week came on a penalty kick in the 10th minute in an eventual 3-1 win at Anna Maria on Wednesday. He followed that up with 190 straight minutes of flawless netminding. He needed to make just two saves in the remaining 80 minutes in the win against the AMCATS before stopping a career-high 13 shots on goal in a 0-0 double-overtime draw on the road at Suffolk on Saturday. It marked the first double-digit save effort for the rookie and his second shutout for the season.
	ROOKIE OF THE WEEK Amerle Nemeye, Norwich (Fr., M - Burlington, Vt.) In Norwich's only game of the week, Nemeye scored the game-winning goal and had an assist on Wednesday to help the Cadets to a big 2-1 victory over intrastate rival Castleton, which made the NCAA Tournament a year ago. He leads the Cadets with four goals and six assists for 14 points, which ranks tied for the GNAC lead in points. Nemeye has a point in six of Norwich's eight games this season.
