St. John Fisher University Athletics

St. John Fisher College has named Matt Guinto (Manlius-Pebble/Syracuse) of the men’s soccer team as the College’s Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending October 5, 2009. 

            Guinto recorded a goal and an assist in Fisher’s 4-1 win over Utica College on Saturday.  He sent a free kick to teammate Eric Friedman (East Syracuse-Minoa/Syracuse) just 1:17 into the first half to get Fisher on the board.  Guinto then picked up his third goal of the season, a header off a pass from Michael Rooney (McQuaid/Pittsford), securing the game-winning goal nearly 28 minutes into play. 

            Guinto stands tied for fifth in the Empire 8 with eight points, averaging 0.89 points per game.  His game-winning goal was his third this season, putting him in a two-way tie for game-winners in the conference.

            The Cardinals return to action when they travel to Wells College for a non-conference match Tuesday at 4 p.m.
