FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- Gordon Botterill earned the MAAC Defensive Player of the Week after helping the Stags post a 2-0 win over Manhattan College in the regular-season finale. 

Gordon Botterill made three saves to record his second straight shutout and his third overall in the team's six regular-season games. The senior faced nine shots in the 90 minutes including seven in the first half. He followed up his performance with a shutout against Saint Peter's University in the MAAC quarterfinals, making a pair of saves and giving the goalkeeper three straight shutouts.

Botterill lowered his goals against average to 0.81 which places third among MAAC goalkeepers. Three of the team's four wins have been by shutout with the exception being the 2-1 decision over Monmouth. The senior has registered 22 saves in his seven appearances this season, averaging just over three stops per game. He owns an impressive .786 save percentage, making eight saves without surrendering a goal over the last three dates.

The Stags will play a semifinal game on Wednesday against top-seeded Quinnipiac University. The game is slated for a 3 pm start.
