Athlete
of the Week: Philip Suprise
By Angelique Fiske, QBSN Publishing Editor
The first-ever
contest between the Quinnipiac men’s soccer team and the Lafayette Leopards
will be one that senior captain Philip Suprise (Milwaukee, Wisc.) won’t soon
forget. Suprise had his way with the
Leopards, earning a hat trick, the only goals scored for the Bobcats in the 3-1
victory, as well as the first three goals of his senior campaign. His dominating performance earned him the
title of NEC Co-Player of the Week.
The hat trick,
the first of the season by any NEC player, marks the second time Suprise left
the crowd stunned by a scoring trifecta.
Suprise made the Bryant Bulldogs pay the price in his freshman year,
sealing the 3-0 victory for the Bobcats.
Suprise’s
three-goal game pushed his career total to 20, good for a shared spot at 10th
all-time. Tack on the assist earned on
Will Daniels’s (Clackamas, Ore.) second goal of the year in the team’s 2-1 win
over Holy Cross and Suprise sits at 13th for all-time points.
While it took
three games into the season for the all-star forward to open the floodgates,
the Bobcats will need their captain’s momentum to continue as they hit the road
to face a tough Loyola team on Saturday, Sep. 8 at 7 p.m.
