Rio Grande's Basso, IU East's Ferrari win RSC Men's Soccer awards
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- University of Rio Grande defender and Indiana University East midfielder Gustavo Ferrari are the River States Conference Men's Soccer Defensive and Offensive Players of the Week, respectively, for March 29-April 4.
Basso, a sophomore from Santiago, Chile, was instrumental in the RedStorm's 4-1 victory over No. 12-ranked Indiana Tech. The Rio Grande defense allowed only two shots on goal and took down the previously undefeated squad.
Ferrari, a sophomore from Alberta, Canada, tallied two goals and three assists in a must-win game at Asbury, a 5-1 victory that kept the Red Wolves' playoff hopes alive. He factored in all five goals, tied his own school record for assists in a game and racked up seven points.
