SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Endicott senior midfielder Shintaroh Itoh (Nerima, Tokyo, Japan) has earned Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Offensive Player of the Week accolades for his play in a 1-0-1 week for the Gulls from October 12-18.
Itoh recorded one goal and one assist in a huge 3-2 overtime win at home over Western New England University on Saturday as the Gulls became the last undefeated team in Commonwealth Coast Conference play (6-0-0). Itoh netted the game-winning goal in the 97th minute, his second game-winner in the last three matches and third game-winning goal of the 2015 season.
