ROOKIE OF THE WEEK:
Jeff Trainor • University of Massachusetts
Freshman | Midfielder | Billerica, Mass./Billerica
Jeff Trainor had a season-best four points on two goals and two assists as the Minutemen opened CAA play with a 9-6 win over Delaware. Trainor assisted on goals in the second and third quarters before he scored twice in the decisive fourth quarter. Trainor had two of the team’s four consecutive game-ending goals that turned a 6-5 deficit into the 9-6 victory. His first of those two went as the eventual game-winner at the 8:31 mark of the fourth when Trainor scored with the 30-second shot clock timer on. He added an insurance tally and capped scoring with 2:12 to go. Trainor’s four-point outing marked a single-game career high while it was also his third-straight game with two goals. Nine of his 10 points on the season have come in his last three games (six goals, three assists), including three-straight two-goal efforts.
