Men's Soccer Hosts Quinnipiac Wednesday Night

FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- The Fairfield University men's soccer team will host Quinnipiac University in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) match on Wednesday night as both teams continue to position themselves for a berth to the MAAC Tournament which begins in November. 

The Stags are coming off a seven-day break which started following their match up with Rider on October 20. Fairfield's offense continued to show its force with a three-goal effort against the Broncs, the team's sixth straight game with two or more goals scored. During this current run, the Stags are averaging 2.1 goals per game with 13 scored in six contests. Three Fairfield student-athletes have been primarily responsible for the offensive surge, namely Jonathan Filipe, Rasmus Sorensen Rejnhold, and Thomas Drillien.

Each member of the trio has tallied nine points over the last six games with Filipe and Sorensen Rejnhold posting four goals and one assist while Drillien has been more of the playmaker with three goals and three assists. Filipe leads the team with 17 points, registering a team-best seven goals with three assists to account for his total. Drillien is next in line with five goals and three assists for 13 points while Sorensen Rejnhold is a close third with his five goals and one assist. 

Goalkeeper William Marment has played every minute during the last six outings, holding a 1.77 goals against average with 23 saves and a .676 save percentage during that time. The graduate student, who earned the MAAC Defensive Player of the Week honor on October 18 after helping the Stags earn a pair of wins, has played more than 700 minutes this season which has led him to a 1.82 goals against average with a .643 save percentage.

Quinnipiac enters tonight's game with an 8-6-0 overall record and a 3-4-0 mark in MAAC play which includes a 2-1 win at home over Monmouth University last Saturday. The Bobcats have split their last two MAAC weekends, starting the run with a road win against Canisius on October 9. 

Brage Aasen represents the team's top offensive threat this season with a team-leading 20 points, accumulating the total with nine goals and two assists. Of those nine goals, Aasen tallied the game-winner five times which rates first in the MAAC. David Bercedo is the team's top play maker with six assists to go along with his three goals, giving him 12 points on the season. Tomas Svecula is also enjoying a solid season up front with two goals and two assists for six points. 

Antreas Hadjigavriel has spent a majority of the minutes in the Bobcats goal, collecting 1,093 minutes through his 12 appearances. He averages just over five saves per game (61 saves total) with three shutouts and a 1.98 goals against average.

Following the Quinnipiac match, Fairfield will finish out the schedule with an away game against Canisius College on Saturday before concluding the regular season with a home match against Marist College on November 3.
