CCC Offensive Player of the Week: Evan MacDonald

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - The Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) has selected Salve Regina University junior midfielder Evan MacDonald (Candia, N.H.) as its men's soccer Offensive Player of the Week (Oct. 8-14).

Offensive Player of the Week - MacDonald registered points in each of the Seahawks three shutout victories this week. He started with a goal and two assists in a 6-0 non-conference win over MCLA on Monday (Oct. 8). He then assisted on both goals as part of a 2-0 result over conference rival Roger Williams. MacDonald finished the week with an assist in a 2-0 non-conference win over Lasell. In total, MacDonald had one goal, five assists, and seven points. The junior has already set the single-season program record for assists and is currently tied for the Division III national lead in the category with 14.

"Evan continues to be one of the most dominant attacking players in all of New England Division III soccer this season," says Seahawk head coach Craig O'Rourke II. "The partnership that he has developed up top with Donnie (Igo) and Owen (Stevenson) have made our front three and overall team attacking shape extremely potent and efficient this season."

Currently the Seahawks lead the conference, not only in goals and points, but in shooting proficiency as the front three puts a higher percentage of its shots on goal than any of the other programs in the league. Salve Regina (13-0-2, 4-0-1 CCC) plays at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston on Wednesday (7 p.m.).
