MATTY CORNISH – MEN’S SOCCER
As he has throughout much of the year, Matty Cornish ignited the NSU offense this past week, leading the Sharks to an unbeaten record in two matches. In Wednesday’s victory at Barry, it was Cornish that changed the momentum of the match, putting the Sharks on the board after trailing early. On Saturday, with the Sharks playing a man down, he then tallied the equalizer in the 90th minute to help secure a 4-4 draw against Saint Leo. Cornish has now scored in each of the past four games, a stretch in which NSU has gone a combined 3-0-1. He ranks among the Top-10 in the league in both goals and assists.
