Offensive Player of the Week

Bryce Wasserman, Monmouth

Jr., 6-3, A, Southlake, TX/Grapevine Faith

Junior Bryce Wasserman led Monmouth with six points as the Hawks improved to 2-0 in the MAAC for the first time in program history with a 17-9 win over Siena. Wasserman scored all of his season-high five goals in the first half as Monmouth erased a 4-0 first-quarter deficit. He scored his fifth goal with 0.5 seconds left in the first half and had a hand in six of Monmouth’s first nine goals as he assisted Eric Berger’s goal that completed a 9-1 run. The Hawks led 9-5 at that point and led by as many as nine in their third straight home win. Wasserman is the only Monmouth player to score at least five goals in one game and accomplished the feat for the second time in his career. He has 13 goals this year, 49 for his career, and leads Monmouth with 21 points in 2017.
