Gallaudet senior midfielder Matteo Giansanti scored one goal and tallied one assist as the Bison won their conference opener, 2-1, on the road at Penn St.-Brandywine. Giansanti got the scoring started with an unassisted goal in the ninth minute as GU led 1-0 and took that one-goal advantage into halftime. In the second half, Giansanti's corner kick found the head of first-year forward Xavier De Leon's head for the second Bison goal in the 74th minute.
This marks the first weekly United East award of the Giansanti's career.
