HAMILTON, N.Y. (8/29/11) – Colgate men's soccer junior Patrick Letourneau and freshman Jimmy McLaughlin were named the BRINE Patriot League Defensive Player and Rookie of the week respectively.

Letourneau, who was an All-Patriot League Second Team selection last season, was named the Defensive Player of the Week after playing a key role in the team's defense that helped secure a 1-0 shut out win over Syracuse on Saturday (Aug. 27). The junior and his teammates were able to hold the Orange to no shots on goal.

McLaughlin, who made his first collegiate start against Syracuse, scored the game-winning goal and his first collegiate goal to give the Raiders the 1-0 win. The freshman had a game-high four shots against the Orange and now leads the team with two points.

Letourneau, McLaughlin and the team will resume play on Wednesday, Aug. 31 when they host Hartwick at 7 p.m. on Van Doren Field.
