Cordeiro Named UAde/Men's Soccer Rookie of the Week
Freshman scored once and assisted on another in a draw with FDU
Central Connecticut men's soccer freshman Filosmar Cordeiro was named the UAde/Northeast Conference men's soccer Rookie of the Week on Monday. Cordeiro and the Blue Devils played to a pair of draws last week, including a 2-2 double overtime match at home vs. Fairleigh Dickinson on Saturday night.
Cordeiro had an impressive first match vs. Northeast Conference opponent Fairleigh Dickinson on Saturday night in New Britain. He posted a goal and an assist in a 2-2 draw vs. the Knights as the Blue Devils moved to 1-1-1 in league play.
Down 1-0, Cordeiro placed a beautiful ball on a free kick to teammate Luke Albertini who headed it into the net for a 1-1 tie in the second half.
FDU answered quickly, and then it was Cordeiro again who worked a pretty play with teammate Keir Hannity to tie the game again, this time with just over 10 minutes to play. Cordeiro fed Hannity, who then gave it back to Cordeiro on the give-and-go. Cordeiro fired the ball to the top right corner of the goal to secure the draw vs. the Knights. It was his second goal of the season.
He is now second on the team with seven points this season (2g, team-high 3 assists).
