Weekly Award Winners
November 6, 2012
Andrew Murphy of the Cape Breton Capers men’s soccer team is the Subway Atlantic University Sport Male Athlete of the Week and the M&M Meat Shops Capers Athlete of the Week for the week ending November 4, 2012.
Murphy, a fifth-year keeper from Liverpool, England, was named the most valuable player of the 2012 Subway AUS men’s soccer championship hosted by UPEI this past weekend in Charlottetown.
Andrew led his team to three wins in three days, including a 1-0 semifinal win over CIS No. 7-ranked Saint Mary’s and a 2-0 victory over the CIS No. 10-ranked and top-seeded UNB Varsity Reds.
The 6-foot-4, fifth-year senior was solid all weekend, picking up all three wins, including two shutouts, and he also scored his first career goal, the game-winner in penalty kicks versus the Huskies. Murphy turned aside 26 of the 28 shots on goal by his opponents over the course of the weekend, a span of over 300 minutes played.
His performance helped Capers capture the program's third AUS men's soccer banner since 2007.
