Jonathan Bobe Named Little East Conference Rookie of the Week

Gorham, Maine - Freshman Jonathan Bobe (Portland, Maine) of the University of Southern Maine Huskies' men's soccer team has been named the Little East Conference Rookie of the Week after helping the Huskies to a 1-1-1 start to the 2015 season.  Bobe is earning the first conference weekly citation of the season.

A forward, Bobe tallied a goal and an assist in three games.  In the Huskies' season-opener, Bobe recorded his first intercollegiate goal to help his team to a 1-1 double overtime draw at St. Joseph's College (Maine).  In Southern Maine's 1-0 win over Westfield State in his team's first game of the 2015 Husky Fall Classic, Bobe assisted on the game-winning goal in the 82nd minute.  Bobe put forth a tremendous individual effort en route the score, winning the ball at midfield and carrying it down the right side of the field before finding his classmate Samuel Anderson (Bristol, Conn./Bristol Central) wide open in front of the box for the goal. Bobe was selected to the Husky Fall Classic All-Tournament team for his play, along with teammates junior Kyle Curley (Gorham, Maine) and Anderson.

Southern Maine returns to action on the road when it travels to Thomas College on Wednesday (7:30 p.m.) for a non-conference game in Waterville, Maine.
