City College of New York men’s soccer standout Clifford Leriche was named the City University of New York Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week for the period of Monday, September 5th through Sunday, September 11th.
Leriche – a Leogane, Haiti native, scored a goal in CCNY’s 1-1 tie at SUNY Maritime this past Saturday afternoon. The freshman midfielder has already done a tremendous job of making his presence known in the early stages of the season for the Beavers. City College Head Coach Roberto Ignaccolo spoke on Leriche receiving the praise.
“Clifford is a newcomer into our soccer family and he has done a great job so far this season in terms of learning our system and adjusting to it,” Ignaccolo said. “He worked very hard during the summer to get himself into great shape, and we’re expecting accolades like this to keep floating his way as the season progresses. He’s a young man who is going to play a big role in helping us get where we want to be as a team.”
