New Jersey City University Athletics

After scoring four goals in two games, including the game-winner in New Jersey City University’s 2-1 victory over DeSales University in the LaRoche College Soccer 2005 Cup Challenge on Sunday, sophomore forward MARCELO CARPIO (Clifton, NJ/Clifton) has been selected as the first NJCU Men's Student-Athlete of the Week of the 2005-06 athletics season. He also was named the New Jersey Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week.

Carpio, a transfer from Fairleigh Dickinson University, is the third NJCU player to receive the NJAC Offensive Player of the Week award since 2003, even with the Gothic Knights competing as an independent last year. He currently leads the team with four goals and eight points on the season. NJCU is 1-1 overall this year.
