Providence Duo Nets Honors

Earn Goalie and Rookie of the Week

October 23, 2007

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Two Providence College players and Massachusetts natives garnered Big East men’s soccer honors this week.

Junior Timothy Murray (Haverhill, Mass.) was named BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week, while freshman Alex Redding (Newton, Mass.) was tabbed as Rookie of the Week.

Murray and Redding played key roles in the Friars two road wins last week. On Tuesday, October 16, Murray made four saves, while Redding scored the lone goal of the match to lead the Friars to a 1-0 upset at No. 13/9 Boston College – the Friars first win over a ranked team this season and the first over Boston College since 1999. It also marked Murray’s sixth shutout of the season and Redding’s second goal of his rookie campaign.

The duo also helped Providence to a 2-0 win at Pittsburgh on Sunday, October 21. Murray made two saves as he posted his seventh shutout, while Redding assisted on the game-winning goal late in the first half to propel the Friars to their third consecutive triumph. Murray and the Friars have not yielded a goal in 274:47.

Providence (8-5-1, 4-3-1 BIG EAST) is back in action with a home match against BIG EAST foe Seton Hall on Wednesday at 3:00 p.m.
