Dan Gwyther

He is one of 26 freshmen players honored this week, as he had an assist in UB's 3-0 shutout against Siena Sunday. Gwyther has played a crucial role in UB's early success as his team has come out of the gates blazing with a 5-0-0 record. Having started in each of Buffalo's five games this season, his relentless hustle and on-field leadership has helped his team gain notoreity in Division-I soccer as one of only 15 unbeaten teams left in the nation.

Gwyther, along with the defensive unit of seniors Matt Stuczynski (Erie, PA/Cathedral Prep), Mbwana Johnson (San Fernando, Trinidad/Pleasantville), and junior Dave Chojnowski (Rochester, NY/Hilton) have played like a brick wall, having shut out two of their last five opponents and allowing an average of five shots per game. Thus far, the Bulls have outscored their opponents 17-4.

The Bulls play back-to-back games this weekend, as they compete in the Georgia Southern Tournament in Statesboro, GA. They will play Centenary (0-4-0), who have struggled to find the net after not having scored a goal yet this season, on Sat., Sept. 17. The next day, the Bulls finish their weekend with Western Illinois (1-3-0) on Sun., Sept. 18., who won their first game of the season on Wednesday.
