Conference
Men’s Soccer Rookie of the Week |

Providence, RI –
Rhode Island College freshman defender Joe Sousa (Bristol, RI)
was named the Little East Conference Men’s Soccer Rookie of the Week
for his performance in two games last week. |

Sousa
contributed in both tallies as Rhode Island College edged Southern
Maine, 2-1, in the regular season finale on Oct. 27. In just the
second minute, he set up the Anchormen’s first goal off a free kick
from 35-yards out, while registering the game-winning goal off a set
piece in the 69th minute from midfield. It was Sousa’s first career
marker and it helped Rhode Island College earn the fourth and final
seed in the Little East Conference Men’s Soccer Tournament. |

|
For the
season, he has played in 14 games, starting 12 of them. He has one
goal and two assists for four points. |

Head Coach
John Mello’s team is the fourth seed in the upcoming 2007 Little
East Conference Men’s Soccer Tournament and will play at top-seeded
Eastern Connecticut on Wednesday, Oct. 31 at 3 p.m. The Anchormen
are 8-8-2 overall. |
