Immediate Release: September 18, 2006 Contact: David O'Brian (dobrian@binghamton.edu) Phone: 607-777-6478 Stenta named America East Conference men's soccer Player of the Week VESTAL, N.Y. -- Redshirt freshman Jason Stenta (Binghamton, N.Y.) has been named the America East Conference Men's Soccer Player of the Week for Sept. 11-17. It marks the first time in his collegiate career that he has received a weekly accolade. Stenta recorded his first two solo shutouts this past week. He made three saves in a scoreless tie against Lehigh and followed up with six stops in the Bearcats' 1-0 win over Hartwick on Saturday. His most important save of the week came off a corner kick with three minutes left against Hartwick. Stenta saved a header from close range off a corner kick to preserve the win. Since taking over as the starting goalkeeper five games ago, Stenta's goals against average stands at 1.09, including a microscopic 0.29 the past three games The Bearcats (2-4-3) have gone 2-1-2 during that span. "Jason has grown tremendously since last year," head coach Paul Marco said. "He has gone from being out of the mix, to being in the mix to becoming our starting goalkeeper. He has done a great job of stopping shots and has organized the defense so that it does not give up many shots." Binghamton heads to Syracuse on Wednesday at 7 p.m for its final non-conference game of the season. |
