MANSFIELD, Mass. (October 11, 2021) – Graduate student Miguel Angel Pastor Gutierrez (Valencia, Spain) garnered the Northeast-10 Player of the Week honor, the league announced Monday afternoon. Junior goalkeeper Kosta Maniatis (Montreal, Quebec) also landed on the NE10 Weekly Honor Roll.

Angel Pastor Gutierrez earns his first NE10 honor of his career, while Maniatis collects his third NE10 weekly award.

Angel Pastor Gutierrez received the honor for his efforts last week, as the No. 1 nationally-ranked Ravens went 2-0-0, picking up wins against Saint Anselm and Southern Connecticut State. The Valencia, Spain, native recorded seven points on the week after netting three goals and adding an assist. He scored both goals in the 2-0 win over the Hawks last Wednesday to lead the team with four points. He also registered three shots on the night, all on target. Against Southern Connecticut State, Angel Pastor Gutierrez netted one of the six goals scored for Franklin pierce and had an assist in the team's 7-0 triumph. He led the team with shots versus the Owls with four, with one shot on net.

Maniatis went 2-0-0 last week, shutting out both Saint Anselm and Southern Connecticut State at home to earn his sixth and seventh shutouts of the season. The junior made one save that came against Southern Connecticut State, as it was the only shot he faced between both contests.

After earning two more shutouts, Maniatis leads the NE10 conference and is tied for first in the nation. The junior is also first in the NE10 with a 0.233 goals-against-average (GAA), while ranking second in the league with a .846 save percentage. Maniatis leads the nation with his GAA and is 10th with his save percentage.

The Ravens take a trip to Bridgeport, Conn., to take on the Bridgeport Purple Knights for a 6:30 p.m. contest on Tuesday, Oct. 12.
