Dick and Ansede have each scored twice this season. Ximo Vicent sets the pace in the middle as he currently leads the team with four assists and tied the school’s assist record with 12 last season. Brothers Peter Spagnolo and Tom Spagnolo have been excellent additions to the midfield, both recording game-winning goals including a P. Spagnolo to T. Spagnolo OT winner against Marietta earlier this year. Freshman goalkeeper Austin Gorman has been terrific in net. He currently leads the AMCC in saves, save percentage and wins.
Medaille College is currently 5-3-1/2-0 AMCC and is currently on a four game winning streak (all shutouts) where they have outscored their opponents 21-0.

They have seven players with at least seven points already. Senior GK Brian Arcara already has five shutouts and a (.767) save percentage.
