The awards keep rolling in for Goldey-Beacom with four student-athletes honors with weekly honors from the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.

Junior Lorenzo Gama (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) was named the Men's Soccer Player of the Week, freshman Adam Quann (Pennsville, NJ) was picked the Men's Cross Country Rookie of the Week, senior Cindell Aguirre (El Paso, TX) made the Women's Soccer Weekly Honor Roll and sophomore Olivia Florence (Glen Allen, VA) earned a spot in the Volleyball Weekly Honor Roll.

Gama scored twice Wednesday against Chestnut Hill in Goldey-Beacom's 3-1 victory. He scored in the 33rd minute to give the Lightning a 2-0 lead and then tallied in the 67th minute to restore the two-goal margin.

Gama is the team's second Player of the Week pick as sophomore Chahin Aghrim (Bonn, Germany) was honored September 19. The Lightning (6-2-1, 4-1-1 CACC), who were on a six-game unbeaten streak before Saturday's loss to Felician, are tied for first place with Georgian Court (4-1-1) at the halfway pole.

Quann, who made the Weekly Honor Roll on September 26, closed 25th at the Paul Short Invitational in 27:01 against some of the elite Division II and Division II squads.

Quann has been the Lightning's top finisher in each of their four races this season.

Aguirre made the Weekly Honor Roll for the third time in four weeks, making 11 saves to earn a pair of results. She ended her week with a phenomenal diving save late in regulation as well as two saves in the second overtime of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Felician. Before making six saves in that match, she had five Wednesday in Goldey-Beacom's 1-0 victory at Chestnut Hill.

Aguirre is 26th in the country with 933 minutes played, 34th with an .873 save percentage, 48th with a .675 goals-against average and 105th with 4.80 saves per contest. She also has 13 career shutouts, one off tying the school record held by Stephanie Steele (2003-06) for a GBC team (7-2-1, 4-1-1) which is third in the league.

Florence averaged 9.33 assists per set over four matches last week and became the fifth player in school history to reach 1,000 career assists. She achieved that mark Friday against Philadelphia U., a match in which she had 31 assists. Florence's week also was highlighted with 38 assists at Lincoln and 26 at Chestnut Hill.

Florence is 80th in the country with 9.75 assists per set and 78th with 0.44 aces per set.
