CLARK’S TALBOT NAMED TO A PAIR OF SOCCER ALL-REGION TEAMS

Clark University’s Matt Talbot capped off his career with a pair of All-New England soccer team selections, it was announced on Tuesday. The senior goalkeeper has been named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Division III All-New England fourth team and the D3kicks.com All-New England Region second team. A native of Harvard, Mass., Talbot helped lead Clark (11-4-2, 3-2-1 NEWMAC) to the number one scoring defense in the conference this season. The two-time All-Conference goalie topped the league in goals against average (.40) and save percentage (.894), and ranked second in winning percentage (.706). Ranking eighth in goals against average and 11th in save percentage in the nation, Talbot began the season with six straight shutouts, one shy of tying the school mark (7), and concluded his senior season with a career-high 10 shutouts. Additionally, the Cougars’ co-captain led the team to the eighth-best shutout percentage (.65) in the nation.

CAMILLERI RECEIVES SECOND STRAIGHT WACBA ROOKIE OF THE WEEK

For the second consecutive week, Clark University’s Jillian Camilleri has been named the Worcester Area College Basketball Association’s (WACBA) women’s basketball Rookie of the Week, it was announced on Tuesday. Asher Cowan was selected to the WACBA men’s basketball honor roll. Camilleri, a freshman forward from Lancaster, Mass., averaged 13.0 points and 11.3 rebounds to help Clark to a 2-1 record last week. She posted a double-double in a pair of victories, notching 14 points and 14 boards in a 70-53 win against Connecticut College, and recorded 15 points, 11 caroms, and two blocks in a 54-33 victory over Gordon College. A rebound short of a trio of double-doubles, Camilleri registered 10 points and nine boards in a loss to nationally-ranked Salem State College (62-49) last Saturday. She also received Player of the Week honor roll accolades for her efforts. Originally from Peterborough, N.H., Cowan scored a team-high 17 points, including five three-pointers, in the Cougar men’s 1-0 week. The senior forward shot 5-for-10 from the field and beyond the arc (.500), 2-for-3 from the foul line (.667), and had one steal in an 85-68 non-conference victory over Worcester State College.
