October 22, 2007

NORTON, MA- Wheaton College men's soccer standout Jim Ferriero (Medway, MA/Medway) garnered the first D3Kicks.com and New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) weekly accolades of his career for the week ending on Sunday, October 21. In addition to being named NEWMAC Player of the Week, the senior co-captain was one of 11 players around the nation selected to the D3Kicks.com Team of the Week.

Ferriero assisted both goals and anchored Wheaton's backfield during a 2-1 win over Babson College on Saturday, helping the Lyons clinch their seventh NEWMAC regular season title in the league's 10-year history. Ferriero's free kicks in the eighth and 15th minutes each led to goals, as he guided a defense that did not yield a marker until the 82nd minute.

Entering Saturday's game, Ferriero had three career assists through his first 77 contests. He has led the Lyons, who are ranked in a tie for eighth in New England by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA), to a 10-5-3 record. Wheaton's defense boasts a 1.28 goals against average with three shutouts, having held opponents to one goal or fewer 12 times.

Ferriero and the Lyons head to Worcester on Saturday for their regular season finale at Clark University at 1:00 p.m. With a 4-0-1 conference mark, Wheaton is seeking its fourth undefeated run through league play.
