BUFFALO – Canisius senior midfielder Jeff Edwards was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week, league officials announced Monday.
The MAAC Preseason Co-Player of the Year, Edwards is the second Griff to receive the honor this season. Junior Connor Kearnan was recognized on Feb. 20 for his efforts in Canisius’ season-opening victory against Dartmouth.
A native of Jamesville, Edwards notched four goals and added three assists to help lead Canisius to a 17-7 victory over Cleveland State Saturday. His four goals represented a new career high, while his seven points equaled his previous personal best.
Canisius (2-2) returns to action March 14 with a 7 p.m. contest at Hobart.
