Behrend's Cline and Walker Named Men's
Soccer Players of the Week
After
capturing the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Championship
and league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, two Behrend Lions
received AMCC men's soccer player of the week honors for November 5.
Dustin Walker (Apollo/Kiski Area) was named AMCC Men's Soccer
Goalkeeper of the Week after shutting out Penn State Altoona in the
AMCC semifinals on October 31 and holding the defending champion
Medaille Mavericks to a single goal in a 2-1 overtime victory to
capture the title on November 3. This is the third
goalkeeper of the week award this season for the sophomore stopper.
Walker was also an AMCC All-Conference First Team selection this
fall.
Adam
Cline (Jefferson Hills/Thomas Jefferson) was tabbed the AMCC Player
of the Week after scoring both goals in the championship win over
Medaille. Cline's game-tying goal came in dramatic fashion
with only 19 seconds remaining in the game. The junior then
stuffed home another just four minutes into overtime to take the
title and punch a ticket to the NCAA Tournament. Cline was
also a AMCC All-Conference Second Team selection this fall.
The Behrend Lions (13-4-3) will next play in the first round
of the Division III NCAA Tournament. The men will travel to
Washington & Jefferson and take on the Presidents on Wednesday,
November 7. Kick-off is set for 6:00 p.m.
