Canton, NY – Anthony Marion, a senior on the men's golf team, and Joey Raap, a sophomore on the men's soccer team, have been named this week's Roos of the Week.

Marion earned medalist honors at the 36-hole Nazareth Fall Invitational shooting a two-round total of 146 (+2) on Sunday and Monday at Ravenwood Golf Club and Locus Hill Country Club, respectively. The senior shot 72 (E) on Sunday with three birdies shooting one under on the front nine and one over on the back. On Monday he posted a round of 74 (+2) with three birdies shooting two over on the front and even on the back. Marion bested the field of 33 golfers edging out his teammate Raine Rumble by a single stroke as the Roos tied for second place out of the six teams with 622 strokes (305-317). The win is the first of the season for Marion and it is the fifth event he has finished in the top three individually so far this season.

Raap combined to stop 18 of the 20 shots he faced (.900 save %) as the Roos split a pair of SUNYAC games last week. He opened the week with a seven save shutout, his first career clean sheet, in a 2-0 win against Potsdam on Wednesday. The win was the first ever for the Roos against the Bears in men's soccer as Canton was previously 0-8-1 against Potsdam since joining D-III as full members. On Saturday against Plattsburgh Raap stopped a career-high 11 shots to keep the Roos in the game throughout in an eventual 2-0 loss to the Cardinals (7-2-4). The sophomore now owns a 1.13 goals against average and .864 save % in 10 appearances this season.
