St. Thomas Aquinas College Men's Soccer athlete Anthony Bolivar Sanchez has been named the East Coast Conference Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week, following the Spartans 2-0 week with wins over Queens College (3-1) and Mercy College (3-2)
Bolivar Sanchez (Sr./Caracas, Venezuela) tallied five goals and an assist, picking up at hat trick against the Knights and two penalty kick goals versus the Mavericks. His lone assist came on a crossbar strike that was eventually headed into the back of the Mercy net by teammate Seif Samy in overtime to give the Spartans an exciting come-from-behind victory.
St. Thomas Aquinas (6-2-1, 3-1 ECC) will enjoy the next five days off from competition and prepare for their next opponent, Daemen College. The match will take place on Saturday, October 9 at Karrier Field in Amherst, N.Y., with kickoff scheduled for 1:30pm
