HERKIMER, NY – Sophomore Mitchel White was named Green & Gold Male Athlete of the Month for October.

His two goals in October helped the team outscore opponents 42-1 in seven games.
White however made a bigger impact on defense, helping shut out six opponents, four of them on the road. The team increased their Mountain Valley Conference record to 6-0 in the process, defeating Hudson Valley (3-0) Mohawk Valley (7-0) and SUNY Delhi (2-1). In October, White helped the defense average .143 goals against per game, the best in the nation.
