10-20-08
CALDWELL,
N.J. - Caldwell College senior
forward Chad Bennett (Kingston, Jamaica/Campion) was named
the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Men's Soccer Player of
the Week for the week ending Oct. 19, the conference announced
today. Bennett led the Cougars to a pair of conference wins,
registering three goals and one assist for seven points.
Bennett helped Caldwell hand Bloomfield College its first CACC loss
of the season with two goals in a 3-2 victory on Thursday at
Watessing Park. With the Cougars trailing 1-0 midway through the
second half, Bennett drew a foul in the penalty area and converted
the penalty kick to tie the game at 1-1. A little over five minutes
later, he finished a crossing pass from senior defender Kagiso
Rhenoster (Mafikeng, South Africa/Mmbatho) to put he Cougars
ahead to stay. In Saturday's 3-0 shutout of Philadelphia University,
Bennett one-timed a pass from senior forward Luis Sartorio
(Asuncion, Paraguay/St. Benedict's Prep) into the goal for what
would prove to be the game-winning goal. He also set up Sartorio's
goal later in the game for his third assist on the season.
Bennett leads the Cougars in goals with 11 and points with 25. This
is the fourth CACC Player of the Week award for Bennett, who
received the honor twice in 2006 and once in 2007. The two-time all-CACC
forward has recorded 30 goals and nine assists for 69 points
in 61 games for Caldwell.
Bennett and the Cougars return to action on Thursday, Oct. 23, when
they play a CACC match at Post University. Game time is set for 3:00
p.m. in Waterbury, Conn.
