Riveros earned the male athlete of the week honors after tallying three goals and helping the Patriots to a 2-0 record on the week.  The freshman opened the week notching a pair of goals, including the game-winner in UC's 3-1 win over Georgetown.  Trailing 1-0 early in the first half, Rodrigo dribbled through three defenders and slotted the ball into the net for the equalizer.  As the first half was coming to a close, Riveros created space between him and his defenders. Just 15 yards out on the left side, Riveros fired the ball into the right side of the goal for the eventual game-winning goal.  He followed that up by netted the first goal of the game in UC's 4-3 win over Thomas More.  It marks the sixth straight game that he has tallied at least one goal as part of his team-high 11 goals on the season.
