McAvoy NSCAA National Player of the Year
HERKIMER, NY – Men's Soccer defender Peter McAvoy (Dundee, Scotland) was named NSCAA National Player of the Year last week for his superb play in 2013.
McAvoy appeared in 18 games for the Generals this fall, starting every one of them on the defensive side of the ball. This didn't stop him from establishing himself as a clutch scorer for the Generals however, accumulating 15 goals. Three of those goals came in the NJCAA DIII National Championship Tournament, all game-winners, giving the program its 10th championship and McAvoy's second as a player under Head Coach Pepe Aragon. McAvoy finished the season with seven game-winning goals, which was second-best in the nation.
On the defensive side of the ball, McAvoy helped hold opponents to five goals the entire season, racking up 13 shutouts and outscoring the competition 61-to-5.
In his two years at Herkimer County Community College, McAvoy played in 40 games, scoring 16 goals and tallying four assists. More importantly, he only lost three games, totaling 37 wins.
