For the second time this season, Boston University has swept the America East men's soccer weekly awards, the league announced Monday afternoon. Junior Stephen Knox and freshman Kelvin Madzongwe led the Terriers to a pair of 2-0 wins last week and were named Player and Rookie of the Week, respectively.
Madzongwe continues to be a presence on the backline for the Terriers, who beat Vermont and UMBC by identical 2-0 scores last week and extended their win streak to six games. The freshman sweeper led a defense that allowed just eight combined shots on goal in the two games, with a stretch of 55 minutes in which UMBC did not record a shot. The Terriers have not allowed a field goal (Stony Brook scored on a penalty kick on Oct. 3) in their last 287:05 of play. Madzongwe, who was also named Rookie of the Week on Sept. 27, has started all 13 games in the back for BU, which has allowed just 12 goals this season.
Senior Ben Havey was also honored with a spot on CollegeSoccerNews.com's Team of the Week for scoring the game-winning goal against UMBC and for also recording an assist on the second score. He currently has four goals and four assists for a total of 12 points, third most on the squad.
BU, which also took home both awards on Sept. 27, currently sits in first place in the America East standings at 4-0-0 with 12 points. The Terriers will next play at New Hampshire on Saturday (Oct. 23) at 2 p.m.
