Behrend Goalkeeper Earns AMCC Weekly Honors

Junior goalie Dustin Walker (Apollo/Kiski Area) has been named the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference goalkeeper of the week for the week of October 27, 2008. 

Behind the solid play of Walker the Behrend Lions have secured two league wins in the last week.  The two wins came both by shutouts.  The blue and white handled Hilbert 3-0 and slid by Penn State Altoona 1-0 in overtime. 

On the year Walker has accumulated eight shutouts with a goals against average of 1.16.  This puts him fourth in the conference.  His eighth shutout puts him in the number two spot in the conference statistical standings. 

Walker will look to harness the high powered Medaille Mavericks when they come to the Behrend Fields on Tuesday, October 28.  The Mavericks are undefeated in conference play and come into the game scoring on average four goals a game.  However, Medaille's last in-conference lost came at the hands of the Behrend Lions when they took a 2-1 decision in the AMCC Championship a year ago.
