Â
Santos Rosa played an integral part in CU's 4-0 win over William & Mary on Saturday, maintaining the undefeated record in conference play while scoring the most goals of the season. The Campbell right back recorded two assists, both on set pieces, and scored the final goal of the contest to contribute on the offensive end as well as helping the defense to its fifth clean sheet of the year.

The Heidelberg, Germany native connected with teammate
Lotem Ben Dov on a free kick and fellow defenseman

Marco Wright's goal just 21 seconds into the match, the fastest goal from kickoff in program history.

The right back closed the night with his goal in the 75
th minute, his second this year. He's accumulated eight points, which is second on the team.
Â
Charlie Kitch from Elon was named the CAA Defensive Player of the Week, and Monmouth's Herman Johnsen earned Rookie of the Week honors.

Kristijan Bandur, who earned the recognition last Monday.
