Pitman, NJ- Announced on Monday afternoon by the New Jersey Athletic Conference, Montclair State University men's soccer sophomore SEBASTIAN LAPCZYNSKI was named the NJAC Defensive Player of the Week in week four.
 
Lapczynski came up big for Montclair during a 1-0 victory against a Vassar team that was receiving votes in the latest USC Top 25 poll. The defender contributed to the team's fifth-straight shutout and helped blank the Brewers, who were averaging three goals a game this season and were shut out for the first time this season. Lapczynski was also called upon in the 86th minute to take a penalty kick, which he hit for the game-winning goal.
 
The sophomore earns his first NJAC weekly award of his young career and is the second weekly honor the men's soccer team earns from the conference this season.
 
Men's Soccer looks to stay hot at MSU Soccer Park as they welcome New York University for a Wednesday night slate on September 24. Kickoff is set for a 7:00 p.m. start.
