Ben Woolingham of the men's soccer program has been named a St. John Fisher College Athlete of the Week for the week ending March 28, 2021.
In the Cardinals' lone game of the week against Houghton, Woolingham had a career-defining game as he netted the two Fisher goals, including the overtime game winner, to push the Cardinals to a golden-goal victory.
The East Amherst native initially interrupted a Houghton clear in the game's first half, causing a turnover and dribbling halfway to the net before uncorking a shot from 10 yards out that rung the back of the opponent's net, putting the Cardinals up, 1-0. After being forced into an overtime period, Woolingham was at the end of a crossed ball from Jeff Meyers, which he headed past the opponent's keeper to cap off the dramatic victory.
