Kanter and Jorge Honored by Commonwealth Coast Conference
October 11, 2011
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) honored two Endicott men’s soccer players, as they announced their weekly awards on Tuesday. Alex Jorge (Billerica, Mass.) was named Rookie of the Week, while EC goalkeeper Aaron Kanter (Medfield, Mass.) earned Defensive Player of the Week accolades.
The Gulls are unbeaten in four straight games, including two contests this past week. They began the week Tuesday with a 3-0 home victory over St. Joseph’s of Maine, then Saturday grinded out a 0-0 tie with Roger Williams, ranked \#21 in the nation.
Kanter made three saves on Tuesday as he earned his third shutout of the season. Against Roger Williams, the freshman faced four shots, intercepted two crosses in the box and snared a loose ball in the second overtime. Kanter has four shutouts on the year, and a 0.93 goals against average, with a 3-2-3 record.
Jorge netted two of the goals in the non-conference win over St. Joseph’s, his first two tallies of the season to go with one assist.
The Gulls (3-6-3, 1-2-2 CCC) will be in action Wednesday afternoon when they play another conference match against Eastern Nazarene. The first kick of the ball will be at 4:00 pm.
