Fairfield Stags forward Erik Ilisije and goalie Michael O'Keeffe earned all MAAC honors from the previous week. For the complete story click here.Ilisije scored 2 goals in the week with both of the tallies coming in a 2-1 win aganist the Yale Bulldogs on Lessing Field. Those were his first two points of the season and currently leads the team in scoring.
This seems to be a trademark for Ilisije. He seems to score in bunches. Last year he had a couple of multi goal games and finished with 6 on the season.
Michael O'Keeffe earned MAAC Defensive player of the week after only allowing one goal in over 180 minutes of play. The sophomore earned First Team All-MAAC last year and recorded his first shutout of the 2010 campaign. For the season he has allowed 1.09 goals per game.
I am happy for O'Keeffe because the talent is there. He struggled early and started to get down on himself. I talked with him after the tie with Bradley and he seemed upset. He told me that he apologized to his coach after the game, as well. Nice bounce back for the Kiwi. When he is on, he is one of the best in the MAAC.
