ERIE, Pa. – Penn State Behrend men's soccer senior Andrew Cassano (Bethel Park, PA/Bethel Park) was named the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week for the period running from September 23-29.
Cassano netted his first two scores of the season which were both game-winners, while also holding down the backline for Behrend in two road victories last week.
At Houghton on Wednesday, he sent a header goal into the back of the net in the 68th minute to give the Lions a 2-1 win over the Highlanders. Cassano registered the first goal of the game in the conference opener at La Roche Saturday and helped Behrend preserve its first shutout win of the season.
The men's soccer team is back in action this Wednesday at RIT. Kickoff is slated for 5 p.m.
