PROVIDENCE, R.I. (September 25, 2006) - University of Connecticut men's soccer player Matt Sangeloty (Farmington, Conn.) was named the BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week, as announced by the conference office Monday. The freshman goalie helped UConn extend its unbeaten streak to six games with wins over Sacred Heart (2-0, Sept. 20) and Georgetown (3-1, Sept. 23).

After giving up an average of 1.69 goals per game through the first five contests of the season, Sangeloty recorded his third straight shutout against the Pioneers. In Saturday's league win over Georgetown, the local product made two saves. He has allowed only one goal since Sept. 10, on a penalty kick against the Hoyas in the 65th minute.

Chukwudi Chijindu (Fontana, Calif.) was also recognized for his accomplishments in the last week by the BIG EAST, earning a spot on the weekly honor roll. The junior forward tallied his first goal of the season against Georgetown to secure the win for the Huskies in the 57th minute. He also tallied assists on each of the Huskies' other two goals against the Hoyas for a total of four points on the day.

Sangeloty and the Huskies return to action Wednesday night at 7:00 against Yale at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium in Storrs. UConn is 30-25-3 all-time vs. the Bulldogs, though the two teams have not faced each other since the 2003 season.
