York junior forward ANTONIO BUA (Lancaster,
Pa./Lampeter-Strasburg) was selected as the CAC Men's Soccer
Offensive Player of the Week while Mary Washington freshman goalie
TYLER BACK (Falls Church, Va./George Mason) and York senior goalie
ETHAN KAVANAGH (Woodstown, N.J./Woodstown) were picked as the CAC
Men's Soccer Co-Defensive Players of the Week.
Bua led the surging
Spartans to a pair of wins last week. He scored the only goal
of the match, with 20 minutes remaining in regulation, in a
non-conference midweek win at Gettysburg. He then scored the
first goal in a 3-1 win at Frostburg State that lifted YCP past the
Bobcats into third place in the CAC standings.
Back allowed just one
goal in two CAC outings to help the Eagles move into first place
and clinch one of the top two seeds (and a first-round bye) in the
upcoming CAC playoffs. At Hood, Back had two saves to record
his third shutout in seven starting assignments, then recorded
three saves on eight shots in a 2-1 overtime victory over Wesley
Saturday. For the season, Back boasts a 4-1-3 record with 35
saves and a 0.79 goals against average.
Kavanagh picked up his
fourth shutout of the season, recording five saves in a 1-0 midweek
non-conference win at Gettysburg. He then added three saves
on 10 Frostburg State shots as the Spartans gained a 3-1 road win
to move into third place in the CAC standings. For the
season, Kavanaugh owns an .812 save percentage and a 0.81 goals
against average.
