MEN'S SOCCER WEEKLY AWARDS - OCTOBER 13

Offensive Player of the Week
 
Patrick Novotny, Merchant Marine
Junior, Forward; Fort Worth, Texas/Keller Central


Novotny delivered an outstanding offensive performance for the Mariners, tallying three goals, two assists, and eight points across a pair of Skyline contests. The junior forward netted twice in a 2–2 draw at Mount Saint Mary before contributing two assists and adding a goal in a dominant 6–1 road victory over Old Westbury. Novotny now leads USMMA with 17 points on the season and shares the team lead with five assists.

Defensive Player of the Week
 
AJ Lucas, Manhattanville
Senior, Keeper; Beacon, N.Y./Beacon


Lucas recorded back-to-back complete-game shutouts last week, lowering his season goals-against average to 1.47. The junior keeper turned away all three shots he faced in Tuesday’s win over Sarah Lawrence before adding another clean sheet on Saturday against St. Joseph’s Brooklyn — his fourth shutout of the season.

Rookie of the Week
 
Lucca Noboa, Farmingdale
Freshman, Midfield; Freeport, N.Y./Freeport


Noboa came up clutch in both of Farmingdale State’s Skyline victories, collecting five points on two goals and one assist. The freshman winger scored the go-ahead goal in a 3–2 win at Purchase before adding a goal and an assist in a 4–2 home victory over St. Joseph’s-Long Island, continuing his emergence as a key contributor for the Rams’ attack.

Honorable Mention

Nico Del Vescovo, Manhattanville – Recorded four goals across two conference wins, including a hat trick versus St. Joseph’s Brooklyn
Carson Sadler, Maritime – Provided steady two-way play in the Privateers’ 2–0 week, helping lock down the midfield and contribute to the transition game
