HAVERFORD, Pa. – Nick Jannelli has been named the Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Week for the second straight week and fifth time in his career. Jannelli scored three goals and added another assist during Haverford's 3-0 week which helped the Fords solidify hosting rights in the Centennial Conference Tournament for the third time in four seasons. Haverford has now won nine straight matches after an undefeated month of October heading into the postseason.
Jannelli did all of his damage in the Fords' Centennial Conference matches against Muhlenberg and Swarthmore. The junior scored two goals, including the game-winner, against Muhlenberg. He came right back two days later with a goal and an assist (on the game-winning goal) against rival Swarthmore as the Fords rallied for the victory in overtime.
The Haverford junior finished his regular season with a conference-leading 31 points in 16 matches. His 12 goals and seven assists were both tied for the top mark in the Centennial Conference. Eight of Jannelli's 12 goals – along with 20 of his total points – came during Centennial Conference matches, which was also the mark in the conference. His six game-winning goals (four in CC play) were also the top marks in the Centennial. Jannelli scored two of his goals this week on penalty kicks, making him 9-for-10 from the PK spot during his career.
Jannelli has led the Fords in scoring during each of his three seasons with the team. His six game-winning goals in 2018 are just one shy of the program record shared by Sam Yarosh '16 and Will Corkery '17, who both set those marks during the 2015 Elite Eight run. Jannelli has already set a new career high for points at the conclusion of the regular season and needs just one more goal to match the total from his sophomore campaign.
For his career, Jannelli has already broken the College's record for game-winning goals with 13. His 80 career points rank 12th in Haverford history, while his 33 career goals are tied 12th with Rob Shakur '91 and Yarosh.
After a busy final stretch to the regular season, Haverford will have a full week to get ready for the Centennial Conference Tournament on Walton Field this coming weekend. The Fords will host the winner of fourth-seeded Dickinson and fifth-seeded Gettysburg on Saturday at 11 a.m. in the semifinals. The second semifinal, featuring second-seeded Johns Hopkins and third-seeded Franklin & Marshall will follow that match. Sunday's championship match is slated for a 1 p.m. start.
