St. Mary's sophomore Nick Tait was honored as the CAC Offensive Player of the Week after netting a goal in each game as the Seahawks posted a 3-0 week. Tait notched game-winners vs. Bridgewater (Va.) and Baldwin Wallace as St. Mary's finished second at its own Seahawk Classic. In the Bridgewater game, Tait netted the game-winning goal with just 2:09 remaining in regulation as he worked his way around a couple of defenders before firing in a shot into the lower right corner past a diving keeper.
