BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Raiders collected three weekly honors the conference announced on Monday afternoon. Senior Eric Widrick earned Goalkeeper of the Week, sophomore Julian Di Lucia garnered Defensive Player of the Week honors, and first year Ryan Schachter picked up Rookie of the Week.
Widrick picked up Goalkeeper of the Week honors after posting back-to-back clean sheets in the opening two matches of the season. Widrick made seven saves against Stonehill in the Raiders 3-0 win and collected his first career clean sheet before making another seven saves against New Hampshire on Sunday in a 0-0 draw. Colgate opened the season with two straight shutouts for the first time since 2016.
Di Lucia is the first Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week this season after leading the backline in front of Widrick to two shutouts. The Raiders defense allowed nine shots in the win over Stonehill and seven shots on goal in the draw against New Hampshire. Di Lucia logged a shot in the win over the Skyhawks to open the season.
