Rollins' Neinken and Barry's Garcia Receive Men's Soccer Weekly Honors

Rollins' Chase Neinken and Barry's Joao Garcia have been recognized as Sunshine State Conference Men's Soccer Players of the Week for the period ending September 19.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK -- Rollins senior F Chase Neinken (Atlanta, Ga.) drove in a header in overtime to lift the Tars to a 1-0 SSC victory over previously-unbeaten and No. 8 Saint Leo. 

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK --  Barry senior D Joao Garcia (Rio de Janiero, Brazil) led a Buccaneer defense that posted a pair of shutouts last week, including an SSC victory over Nova Southeastern.  In the 1-0 win over the Sharks, Garcia and the Buccaneer defenders limited NSU to eight shots, only two of which were on goal.  In an earlier 7-0 victory over Johnson & Wales, the squad surrendered just two shots.  Garcia also provided an offensive lift in that contest, assisting on a pair of goals.  The Buccaneers boast a stingy 0.37 goals against average on the season.
