NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- Lee High's Elizabeth Brown and Pittsfield High grad Gustavo de Oliveira each have earned Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference honors in the opening weeks of the fall season at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts.
de Oliveira has been selected as the MASCAC Men's Soccer Offensive Player and Rookie of the Week, as announced by the league on Monday.
The first-year forward scored four times on five shots, including the game-winner, leading MCLA to its first win of the season over Framingham State, 4-2. They were the first goals and points of his career, giving the Trailblazers the early-season league win.
de Oliveira and MCLA are back in action this Wednesday when they travel to Rivier University for a non-conference matchup with the Raiders.
On Sept. 2, senior outside hitter Brown and first-year outside hitter Kaelynn Greeley were named the Offensive Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week, respectively.
Brown had 26 kills, 20 digs, and five service aces in three matches the Trailblzaers' opening weekend at the Keuka College Invitational. The senior outside hitter produced 14 kills, eight digs, and four aces in a season-opening 3-1 win over Keuka. She finished her weekend with 12 kills and 12 digs in a pair of setbacks versus the University of Pittsburgh-Bradford and Hilbert College.
For the season, she has a team-high 49 kills for MCLA, which is 5-2 going into Wednesday's home game against Utica.
