Hey all, here are this week's athletes of the week:

Joe Marino

Junior goalie Joe Marino (Rochester, NY/McQuaid) earns male athlete of the week honors after leading the men's soccer team to their first State University of New York Athletic Conference men's soccer championship since 1978 by virtue of taking the penalty-kick shootout, 11-10, over Plattsburgh State.

Marino made nine saves including a big save on the deciding penalty kick in the shootout to earn the SUNYAC tournament most valuable player and record his seventh shutout of the season.

In the semifinal game against Geneseo, Marino made four saves to earn the victory.
