Syracuse, N.Y. – Sophomore defender
Andrew Piccolo (Toronto, Ontario/Michael Power-St. Joseph) has been named the Le Moyne Athlete of the Week, presented by CADimensions.
Piccolo earned his first two starts of the season on September 3
rd against St. Bonaventure, and September 7
th against Binghamton. Over the two games, he scored one goal as a centerback, and provided 125 minutes for the 'Phins.
With the score knotted at 1-1 against St. Bonaventure, the Dolphins and Bonnies were both pushing for a go-ahead goal. St. Bonaventure regained possession in their own defensive third, looking to counter the opposite direction.
A defender for the Bonnies played a pass through the middle of the field, with Piccolo being the first to react. He intercepted the pass, before taking a few touches and firing a curling shot with his right foot, bouncing off the right post and finding the back of the net to give the 'Phins a 2-1 advantage over the Bonnies.
His goal was the deciding factor as Le Moyne went on to win the match 2-1 for its first win of the season.
