CENTER VALLEY, Pa. – Freshman Zac McGraw earned Patriot League Rookie of the Week honors for the first time in his career on Monday.
Â
He becomes the third Army freshman to draw a conference weekly award after Rex Epps was named Rookie of the Week twice and Keenan O'Shea landed Patriot League Midfielder of the Week praise once.
Â
McGraw turned in a three-point performance during Army's 2-1 double-overtime victory at Colgate on Oct. 26. The freshman defender tallied the primary assist on a goal from Nick Williams in the 84th minute of the match before netting the game winner with just 44 seconds remaining in double overtime.
Â
McGraw started and played the entire match versus Colgate before playing in all 90 minutes of a 1-0 setback at Boston University on Oct. 29.
Â
McGraw has one goal and three assists this season, while starting at the center back position in all 16 of Army's matches.
Â
The Black Knights (8-6-2, 4-3-1 Patriot League) close out its regular season with two games this week, beginning with a nonleague contest at Fairleigh Dickinson on Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. Army hosts Bucknell on Saturday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. to conclude the regular season.
