Kevin Gorman, Bridgewater, Senior, Forward

Gorman, a senior from Annapolis, Md., helped the Eagles to a 2-0 week and extend their winning streak to five straight games.  Gorman notched all three goals in a 3-1 non-conference win over Stevenson on Wednesday.  His goals came in an 11-minute span late in the second half.  He scored twice in the 76th minute and added a third in the 88th minute before Stevenson regrouped with its lone tally 1:04 from full time.  On Saturday, Gorman helped BC claw back from a 2-0 deficit against Randolph College in the ODAC opener.  His assist on Daniel Visone's goal tied the game in the 76th minute.  For the season, Gorman is second in the ODAC in points (11) and tied for second with four goals.
