Gordon Botterill, a freshman for the Fairfield University Men's Soccer team, earned the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Defensive Player of the Week after helping the Stags post a win in their only game of the week.
The goalkeeper earned his first collegiate shutout in a 2-0 win over Temple University last Saturday, giving the rookie three wins in his four starts since joining the Fairfield University soccer program this season. Botterill made three saves in the game, two in the first half and one more over the final 45 minutes. His first save of the game was perhaps his most difficult as the freshman made a diving stop of a shot from five yards away, punching the ball out of danger in the 16th minute.
