CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (Oct. 1, 2012) - The East Coast Conference released its weekly men's soccer awards, and LIU Post men's soccer freshman
Per Forgaard (Stavanger, Norway) was named the Rookie of the Week for the second time this season.
Forgaard totaled three points, scoring a goal and adding an assist as the Pioneers won their only contest of the week in a 4-1 rout of Saint Thomas Aquinas.
LIU Post moved up a spot in the NSCAA Division II Poll and now hold strong at No. 2 in the rankings, along with No. 1 in the East Region. The Pioneers posted a 4-1 victory over Saint Thomas Aquinas, scoring three second-half goals to break a 1-1 halftime deadlock and extended its winning streak to nine games. With a record of 9-0 on the season and 4-0 in conference play, the Pioneers are just two wins away from matching the 11-game winning streak that last season's team posted to begin the season.
