PRINCETON, N.J. – Andrew Samuels was named Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week on Monday. The award is his fourth of the season.
The honor comes after Samuels helped Princeton to two shutouts on the week.
On Tuesday against #2 Bryant, Samuels made three saves as he took the shutout in goal against one of the most prolific offenses in the nation.
On Saturday at Yale, Samuels combined with fellow GK Sully Atkin to shut out Yale as the Tigers won 4-0. He made one save in the contest.
With nine shutouts to his credit, Samuels leads the nation in the stat. He also ranks third in the nation in save percentage (0.917) and fourth in goals allowed, with a GAA of 0.287.
Samuels currently holds second in the Princeton record book for most shutouts in a single season.
A credit to his dominant performance all season, Samuels was also named Defensive Player of the Week on September 22, September 29 and October 6 as he picked up three-consecutive awards.
Samuels and the #6 Tigers will be back in action this Saturday as they host Dartmouth with the Ivy League Championship title on the line. The Tigers will also celebrate Senior Day on Saturday as it marks the final regular-season home game for Princeton. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. in Roberts Stadium.
