Sophomore
Zach Amato won his third consecutive Liberty League Defensive Performer of the Week honor, and fellow sophomore
Sammy Bothwell's big week was rewarded with an Offensive Performer of the Week nod, as announced by the conference office on Monday.
Amato continues to be a stalwart in goal and was key in the Saints' wins over No. 7 Cortland and No. 14 Hobart. The sophomore faced 13 shots in each game this past week, and in the team's 2-1 win over Cortland, Amato stopped seven shots to help secure the win. The sophomore stopped both shots he faced against No. 14 Hobart over the weekend for the clean sheet and the team's second win over a ranked opponent.
Bothwell's breakout season kicked into high gear this past week as the sophomore helped the Saints to the two ranked wins. In St. Lawrence's midweek matchup with the Red Dragons, the midfielder scored a brace in the 2-1 win, for the program's first win over a top-10 team since 2012. Bothwell followed that up with the game-winning goal against Hobart on the weekend and tacked on an assist in the 2-0 win.
Amato, Bothwell, and the Saints will be back on the pitch tomorrow when the team heads north to take on SUNY Potsdam in a 7 p.m. match.
