BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana men's soccer sophomore goalkeeper Roman Celentano was named Big Ten Co-Defensive Players of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday afternoon.
Celentano has earned the accolade from the Big Ten three times in his career, including each of the last two weeks.
The Naperville, Ill., native faced 10 total shots in a 3-0 victory over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on March 19. He made saves on all five of the RU shots on frame. To date, Celentano has conceded just two goals on 25 shots on goal (.920 save percentage). He has registered four shutout wins in six chances this season and allows just 0.33 goals per 90 minutes, the best figure in the league.
Celentano and the rest of the No. 9-ranked Hoosier men's soccer team hosts the Northwestern Wildcats in a revenge game tonight (Tuesday) at 7 p.m. ET at Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The match will be broadcast on BTN+.
