Heidar Hermannsson are the CAA men’s soccer weekly award winners for the week ending on October 26.
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Laurie Goddard, Hofstra
Sophomore | Forward | London, England / Alleyns School
Earning his second CAA Offensive Player of the Week accolade this season, Goddard pushed Hofstra’s win streak to seven games with as many points. The Pride kicked their week off in a local grudge match against Fordham, which saw the senior forward net two and tack on an assist in a 5-1 win. Goddard then helped Hofstra avenge its only CAA loss of the season, scoring his second game-winner of the week in a 4-1 victory over Monmouth.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Gabriel Pacheco, Hofstra
Senior | Defender | Curitiba, Brazil / Colegio Saber
Pacheco played a key part in Hofstra allowing just two goals in a 2-0 stretch this past week. Against Fordham, the Brazilian defender fended off a persistent Rams offense to restrict his opponents to two shots on target. Four days later, Pacheco helped dominate at the back, allowing just one shot on goal from Monmouth, while also adding a goal in the win.
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Heidar Hermannsson, Stony Brook
Freshman | Goalkeeper | Reykjavik, Iceland
Hermannsson made three saves in a 3-0 shutout road victory over Drexel. The clean sheet marked the Icelandic shot stopper's second in conference play, while also marking his fourth win of the season. Hermannsson is up to 29 saves on the season, ranking sixth in the CAA.
