honors.
Jerry Tortella (Pittsburgh/Thomas Jefferson) was named the AMCC men's soccer Player of the Week and teammate Dustin Walker (Apollo/Kiski) was tabbed the AMCC Goalie of the Week. Behrend dropped Lake Erie 2-0 on the Behrend Fields and beat Pitt-Greensburg 6-0 on the road.
Tortella scored in both games, boosting his season total to 10 goals. He is the Behrend Lions leading scorer with 22 points and ranks second in the AMCC in goals scored.
Walker posted
two shutout victories in league play. He made nine saves in the win

The blue and white continue with four straight in league play. They
