RICHMOND, Va. – After matching his season-high in saves on Saturday night, Monmouth University men's soccer goalkeeper Eryk Dymora was named the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) Defensive Player of the Week by league officials.
 
Dymora was honored for the first time this season after helping the Hawks secure a 1-0 win at William & Mary. He is the third Hawk to be recognized by league officials this season (Jasen Bottini – Aug. 26, Bastian Hatcher – Sept. 23).
 
Dymora posted seven saves in the win over William & Mary, with six of the seven stops coming in the second half. It was his sixth shutout of the season for the Hawks and helped Monmouth move into a tie for first place in the CAA standings with just two conference contests remaining.
 
Dymora now has a 0.67 goals against average and an .860 save percentage in 12 matches for the Hawks. Dymora leads the CAA in goals against average and save percentage this year while ranking second for shutouts per game.
 
Dymora and the Hawks return home to host No. 18 University of Pennsylvania on Tuesday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. That match will be broadcast on NBC Sports Philadelphia + and FloSports.
