SUNYAC named Fredonia's Brian Taylor as the league's Men's Soccer Offensive Athlete of the Week and Morrisville's Ronaldo Fatolou as the Defensive Athlete of the Week.
It is the second time this season that Taylor is being honored as the SUNYAC Men's Soccer Offensive Athlete of the Week. He was the leader in a dominant week for the Fredonia State men's soccer team. The Devils won a pair of games by a combined 16-1 while Taylor had four goals and two assists. In a 9-1 win over Pitt-Bradford, Taylor scored twice. In a SUNYAC contest vs. Canton, Taylor had the game's first goal and last goal, as well as a pair of assists. Taylor's 11 goals and 26 points top the conference.
Fatolou led Morrisville to a 1-0-1 week that included a tie in their SUNYAC opener against no. 17 Plattsburgh State. The freshman collected eight saves early in the week against SUNY ESF, conceding a penalty kick goal, before assisting the game winner with seconds remaining in the contest on a perfectly placed free kick in the box. Fatolou followed with four stops to preserve a scoreless tie against Plattsburgh on Saturday. Across the week he posted a .923 save percentage, averaging six saves per game.
