Senior forward Shastri Spencer, the top scorer on the men’s soccer team, has been named East Stroudsburg University’s Championship Award Guys Athlete of the Week for his performance for the 7-1 Warriors so far this season.
He scored the game’s first goal in the 37th minute of a 2-0 win at West Chester last Wednesday, then turned in a one goal, two assist effort in a 3-2 (2OT) win over Millersville on Saturday night that gave ESU its first win over the Marauders since 2007.
Against Millersville, Spencer tied the game at 1-1 in the 25th minute, assisted on the go-ahead goal by redshirt senior midfielder Michael Kane in the 76th minute, then found junior forward Greg Schook for the game-winning goal with 3:06 left in the game as the Warriors picked up an important conference victory.
Spencer ranks second in the PSAC with 14 points and ESU is tied for second in the conference with 2.38 goals per game (19 goals in eight games).
The Warriors have a pair of PSAC games on the docket this week, traveling to Erie for a Wednesday afternoon match-up at Mercyhurst, then hosting Gannon on Saturday at 12 p.m. at Eiler-Martin Stadium.
