Snyder, Hess Claim Commonwealth Men's Soccer Honors

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – For the second straight week, Susquehanna University has swept the Commonwealth Conference's men's soccer weekly honors after improving to 4-0 for the first time in program history with a 3-1 win over Lycoming on Friday night.

Sophomore Nate Snyder earned his second straight Player of the Week award while junior Adam Hess captured Defender of the Week honors after helping the Crusaders win the “Battle of the Boot” for the third time in four years over the Warriors in front of an overflow crowd at Sassafras Field.

Snyder (Catawissa, PA/Southern Columbia) tallied the eventual game-winning goal in the 52 nd minute after assisting on Mike Keim 's goal in the 48 th minute that broke a scoreless tie. Snyder has scored in all four of the Crusaders' matches and leads the Commonwealth Conference with eight goals and 17 points on the season.

Hess (Trenton, NJ/North Burlington Regional) led a Crusader defense that limited Lycoming to just eight shots, and assisted on Snyder's goal with a perfectly-placed through ball that sprung Snyder on a breakaway. He also helped limited Lycoming striker Jeff Kocher to just one shot attempt and no goals in the match.

The Crusaders host Dickinson on Wednesday at 7 p.m. on Sassafras Field.
