Nov. 5, 2001

Adam Rosen was named the Patriot League's Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season on Nov. 5.

WASHINGTON — American University’s Adam Rosen (Millburn, N.J./Millburn) was named the Patriot League’s Offensive Player of the Week for the week of Nov. 4, as announced by the league office this afternoon. It is the fifth Patriot League award for American men’s soccer this season, which is in its inaugural season as a member of the league.

This is the second time this season Rosen has been so honored by the league.

Rosen, a senior forward, helped lead American to a 2-0 week with important wins over VCU (3-1) and league-rival Lehigh (3-0). He scored a goal in both games, including the game-tying goal against VCU on Wednesday.

The team-leader in points this season with 16, Rosen has tallied seven goals and two assists. In addition, he has two game-winning goals to his credit.
Rosen was first named the Patriot League Player of the Week on Sept. 29. Kris Bertsch and Shawn Kuykendall were named Offensive Player and Rookie of the Week, respectively, on Oct. 8, and Andrew Herman was the league’s Rookie of the Week on Oct. 21.

American is 5-1-0 in Patriot League play, and will be the second seed in the upcoming league championship, hosted by top-seeded Holy Cross, Nov. 15-17, in Worcester, Mass.

The Eagles are in action again tomorrow, Nov. 6, when they host former Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) rival William & Mary at 2:00 p.m. at Reeves Field. American then concludes its regular season by hosting Colgate in a Patriot League contest on Saturday, Nov. 10, at 2:00 p.m. Prior to the match, the six Eagle seniors will be honored in a ceremony.

American University became a full member of the Patriot League on July 1, after competing in the CAA since the 1985-86 academic year. The University, founded in 1893, fields a 19-sport Division I athletics program, featuring 10 women’s sports and nine for men.
