Atlantic 10 Weekly Award Release |
College Soccer News Team of the Week (Week of Aug. 26)
Newport News, Va. – (August 27, 2018) – The Atlantic 10 Conference released its first set of men's soccer weekly awards on Monday with Fordham senior goalkeeper
Dan Miklos (Manheim, Pa.) being named the conference's Defensive Player of the Week. It is Miklos' first career weekly honor.
Miklos made his first start since 2015
on Friday, and was a big part of #16 Fordham's season-opening 2-1 win against Holy Cross. Miklos made three saves against the Crusaders, and punched away a potential scoring chance in the final seconds on a cross. That clearance secured Fordham's first season-opening victory since 2011.
In addition to Miklos being honored by the Atlantic 10, senior forward
Janos Loebe (Kierspe, Germany) was named to
College Soccer News' Team of the Week for his performance against Holy Cross.
Loebe had a three-point game in Worcester on Friday, registering an assist on the Rams' opening goal, while netting the eventual game-winning goal in the second half. He moved into sole possession of tenth on Fordham's career goals list with 20, while being tied for seventh all-time in points (61).
Miklos, Loebe, and the rest of the Rams, who moved into 15
th in the
College Soccer News Top 30 Poll and the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 Poll, as well as to 19
th in the Top Drawer Soccer poll, are in action twice during Labor Day Weekend, as Fordham travels to Wisconsin to face the nationally ranked Badgers on Saturday, September 1
st, while taking on Northwestern on Monday, September 3
