RINDGE, N.H. (September 6, 2021) – Freshman Braudilio Rodrigues (Lisbon, Portugal) was tabbed Northeast-10 Rookie of the Week, the conference announced Monday afternoon. In addition, junior goalkeeper Kosta Maniatis (Montreal, Quebec) and graduate forward Pedro Juan Vicente (Elche, Spain) were named to the NE10 Weekly Honor Roll. The honors mark the first time in their careers.

Rodrigues and the Ravens are coming off a successful weekend in Rindge. The Lisbon, Portugal, native came away with a season-best four points on two goals in the season opener against the Nyack Warriors (Sept. 2), aiding the Crimson and Grey to a 4-0 victory to start the weekend. Rodrigues then netted a goal and had an assist for three points in the 3-0 win against Queens (N.Y.) (Sept. 4). Rodrigues tallied a season-high seven shots versus Nyack, including three on target, and added two more shots in the game against Queens (N.Y.). Rodrigues ranks first in the NE10 and on the team in goals (three), points (seven) and shots (nine), while also leading the team in shots on goal (four).

Maniatis posted two shutouts this past weekend, marking the second and third of his career. The Montreal, Quebec, native turned away the only shot he faced against Nyack, tying him for first in the conference in save percentage (1.000). Maniatis' two shutouts puts him on top of the leaderboard in the NE10.

Vicente notched the game-winning goal versus Nyack and added an assist for three points total. He registered an assist for one point against Queens (N.Y.), and tallied six shots in both matches, including a career-high four versus Nyack.

The Ravens head to Rutherford, N.J., on Saturday, September 11, to face Felician at the Lyndhurst Recreation Complex at 3:30 pm.
