WASHINGTON, D.C. ? Georgetown University men?s soccer players, Dan Gargan (Jr., Philadelphia, Pa./Chestnut Hill Academy) and Ricky Schramm (Fr., East Chester, N.Y./Fordham Prep School) both received BIG EAST Player of the Week honors for the second time each this year. Gargan was named the Defensive Player of the Week and Schramm earned BIG EAST Rookie of the Week after Georgetown posted a 2-0 record on the week with a 2-0 victory at Villanova and a 4-1 win over Syracuse.
From the back position Gargan played both ends of the field exceptionally well last week. He tallied the game winning goal at Villanova, scoring 24 minutes in and then helped hold Villanova. At home against Syracuse Gargan and the defense kept Syracuse to only one goal and Gargan hit GU?s first goal of the second half to tie the contest at one. He then was credited with an assist that helped the Hoyas open up a 3-1 advantage. On the year Gargan stands #2 on GU?s points list with 13 off four goals and five assists, all coming while helping the defense record a 1.39 goals against average this season.
