STANDISH, Maine – The Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) weekly honors have been announced and Saint Joseph's College junior Liam Foley (Middleton, Mass.) has been named as the GNAC Men's Soccer Goalkeeper of the Week.

Foley earns the first GNAC weekly honor of his career after helping the Monks post a pair of shutout victories in conference play last week. The junior netminder made a pair of saves in a 1-0 win over Dean College on Tuesday and turned away eight shots, including several acrobatic saves, in a 1-0 triumph over preseason favorite Johnson & Wales University on Saturday.

Through four games this fall Foley has logged all 360 minutes between the pipes for the Monks while sporting a 0.50 goals against average with an .895 save percentage. The first-year starter has made 17 saves and allowed two goals while posting a pair of shutouts.

Saint Joseph's will host Regis College on Wednesday in a GNAC matchup slated to start at 6:00 PM.
