Off to an excellent start at 6-4 overall and 4-1 in CUNYAC, the Lightning men’s soccer team is starting to fashion itself a contender to possibly make a deep run in the CUNYAC Championships. And one of the main reasons why has been the play of sophomore Momar Thiam, who has been named the CUNYAC/Applebees Men’s Soccer Player of the Week.
Over the week that ended October 2, the Lightning toppled three CUNYAC opponents in three tries, including wins over John Jay, College of Staten Island and Brooklyn College with Thiam playing a major role in each. In the Lightning’s 1-0 triumph over previously undefeated CSI, Thiam registered the game-winner. Against Brooklyn, he capped the day’s scoring with a goal as Lehman won 3-0.
