NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Junior Sarah Cebry (Burlington, Conn.) of the field hockey team and senior Mario DiMiceli (Vilers-Le-Bouillet, Belguim) of the men’s soccer team have been named as the Southern Connecticut State University Athletes of the Month for September.
Cebry put together a series of performances that resulted into arguably the most productive single-month in Owls’ field hockey history. By month’s end, she led all Division II players in goals (17), points (36), goals per game (1.7) and points per game (3.6).
On two occasions during the month, Cebry set a new Southern Connecticut single-game record with five goals in a single contest. With two goals in a Sept. 29 contest against UMass-Lowell, she moved into the top spot on the Owls’ career goal scoring chart with her 37th tally. In addition, Cebry has also matched the program’s single-season goal total.
DiMiceli led the Owls into the national rankings by month’s end and paced the team with five goals and 10 points in September. He netted a hat trick in the season opener against Saint Rose and added the game-winning goal in a key regional victory over Dowling.
