JACOB CHIMENTO OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS, a senior goalie from St. Louis, Mo., has been selected the SCAC Men’s Soccer Defensive Player-of-the-Week for matches played the week of Monday, October 15th to Sunday, October 21st.
In a critical game for the Crusaders, Chimento made his first start of the year on senior day and led Dallas to a 2-1 victory against Southwestern to maintain possession of third-place in the standings going into the final week of the regular season. Chimento registered six saves on the day, a season-high for Crusader goalies on the season and let just one goal in via a penalty kick. Four of the six saves made by Chimento came following the penalty kick to keep Dallas in the game and allow the Crusaders to mount a comeback.
