Brooklyn College junior Steven Favaloro has been named the City University of New York Athletic Conference/Applebee’s Men’s Soccer Rookie of the week, for the week ending October 23rd.
Coming in BC’s final game of the 2011 season against conference and borough rival Medgar Evers College on October 21st, Favaloro was a one man scoring machine, netting all three goals for his first career hat trick, in the Bulldogs’ heartbreaking 4-3 double overtime loss.
The Brooklyn , NY native opened the scoring with a pair of goals in the 23rd and 25th minutes of play to put BC up by a 2-0 cushion. After the Cougars tied the match with two goals of their own in the second half, Favaloro would once again put the Bulldogs ahead, as he converted on a penalty kick in the 76th minute to give Brooklyn a 3-2 advantage.
