BOSTON - For the third consecutive week, UMBC senior midfielder Ryan Becher (Hummelstown, Pa.) earned the America East Conference's Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week honor.

Becher converted a penalty kick with 92 seconds remaining as UMBC staged a dramatic rally and knocked off No. 10 Vermont, 2-1, at Retriever Soccer Park on Saturday, Oct. 22. In the 83', Becher earned an assist on Taylor Calheira's game-tying goal.

One of the Retrievers' tri-captains, Becher now has 11 goals and nine assists on the season, becoming the first Retriever to post a 30-point season since Pete Caringi III scored 32 points in 2012.

With his assist on the Calheira goal, Becher moved into a tie for tenth place on UMBC's all-time assists' list with 19.

By virtue of the win over Vermont, the Retrievers clinched a spot in the America East Conference Championships. UMBC hosts NJIT on Friday, Oct. 28 at 7:00 p.m. The Retrievers' six seniors, including Becher, will be honored in pre-game ceremonies.
