Nov 5, 2007

The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) named Casey Frobey (Sandy Hook, Conn.) the women’s soccer offensive player of the week, while Nicole Cavallaro (New Hyde Park, N.Y.) was named the rookie of the week.   It marks the third offensive honor of the year for the Stags, the first for Frobey, and it is the fourth honor of the season, second rookie accolade, for Cavallaro.

Frobey led the Stags with nine points during the final three games of the season, scoring three goals and dishing out three assists.  She had five points, two goals, including the game winner, and an assist, in the win over Saint Peter’s.  She than assisted on a goal in the Stags tie with Loyola and added a goal and an assist, for three points, in the win over Rider.

Cavallaro finished the week with six points, and again wrote her name into the record book.  In the regular season finale, Cavallaro tied her single-game record, dishing out four assists, in the 5-1 victory over Rider.  Those assists gave her 16 for the year, which is the school single-season record.  Her goal came in the Stags win at Saint Peter’s.

The duo lead the team in scoring, with Cavallaro entering MAAC Tournament play with 30 points, and Frobey with 26.  Cavallaro is tops in the league in points and assists, while Frobey is first in goals and third in total points.

Fairfield finished the regular season at 11-6-3 overall and in second place in the MAAC with a 6-1-2 record.  The Stags will take on Loyola in the first semifinal game on Friday, at 4 p.m. in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. at Marist College.
