EDISON, NJ – The Metro Conference has released its Men's Soccer Players of the Week, which has included Manhattan's graduate forward Cristiano Marsilii as Offensive Player of the Week, per release on Monday afternoon.
One of over two dozen newcomers to the Jaspers roster has found his home quickly, scoring three goals in the previous two games, including a win over the Privateers of Maritime College on Wednesday, followed by a brace on Sunday afternoon playing host to the Howard Bison in the 4:2 win.
Additionally, Marsilii has logged eight shots in the previous two games, with four on target, and posted game-winning goals in the last two. The final tally for the Rome, Italy native came off a penalty kick in the 41st minute of the first half of Sunday's victory.
Throughout the first four fixtures, Marsilii has accrued one start against Howard, three goals, two assists, nine shots, and four shots on target, all in 187 minutes on the pitch.
Currently, Marsilii sits tied for second in the Metro with three goals, joined by Fairfield's Cristiano Carlos, Siena's Lucas Almeida, and his teammate Ziv Dahan.
Marsilii is also one of three Metro student-athletes to have recorded a pair of game-winning goals.
The Jaspers are back on the pitch on Saturday, September 12, when the Green and White play host to the Lions of Columbia University, beginning at 12:30 p.m. from Gaelic Park. The contest can be viewed on ESPN+ with a paid subscription.
