Doherty Earns Goalkeeper of the Week Nod

The rookie adds second accolade of the season

EASTON, Pa. - For the second time this season, freshman goalkeeper Joe Doherty has been named the Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Week.
 
Doherty had an impressive outing in the 10-9 overtime win over Colgate on Saturday, making 11 saves. Seven of his saves occurred in overtime, including a crucial save in overtime that kept the Leopards alive. The rookie recorded nine goals against, only allowing two in the second half.
 
The Malvern, Pa. native has started in all nine games in his freshman campaign, compiling a .468 save percentage and a 12.61 goals against average.
 
Senior defender Sean Rushton earned an honorable mention nod after holding Colgate's leading scorer Rory Connor to one goal on three shots. Rushton also picked up three ground balls and had a caused turnover.
 
The Leopards are back at Fisher Stadium on Saturday, hosting No. 18 Boston U. at noon.
