Dartmouth Keeper Honored Again

Named Player of the Week for Second Time

October 31, 2007

Dartmouth's Sean Milligan won the Ivy League Player of the Week.

Westport, Conn. native and Dartmouth men's soccer goalkeeper Sean Milligan was named Ivy League Player of the Week for the second time this season.

Milligan helped lead the Big Green to a 1-1 week against powerhouses Boston College and Harvard. The junior gave up just one goal combined against No. 12 BC and No. 12 Harvard.

Against BC, Milligan made three saves but was beaten in the 86th minute after a free kick was headed in for 1-0 BC victory.

Three days later at Harvard, Milligan made four saves - including a huge stop early on against Michael Fucito - and Dartmouth became the first school this year to hold the Crimson scoreless. The Big Green defense also ended Andre Akpan's 10-game scoring streak.

With the win, Dartmouth remained undefeated in Ivy play and still sports the stingiest defense. Milligan has given up only one goal in four conference games and his goals against average for the year stands at a staggering 0.48.
