Montclair, NJ – Freshman
AMER LUKOVIC of the No. 9/12 Montclair State men's soccer team gained New Jersey Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week honors Monday.
It is the second consecutive Rookie of the Week honor and third overall for Lukovic, who also has been named the NJAC Offensive Player of the Week this season.
Lukovic bagged the game's only two goals as the Red Hawks topped Stockon 2-0 Saturday evening. The rookie opened the scoring in the 17th minute, firing a shot from well outside the 18-yard box into the top corner of the goal. Lukovic provided the insurance goal with a tally in the 84th minute with the Red Hawks clinging to the one-goal lead.
Through 11 games this season, Lukovic is ninth in Division III with four game-winning goals and ninth with 11 goals this year. The Red Hawks are back on the pitch Wednesday as they face Ramapo College at 3 pm.
