WAYNE, N.J. – Men’s soccer junior back Michael Encarnacion (Franklin, N.J./Passaic County Tech) was named the William Paterson Pioneer of the Week for Oct. 3.
 
Encarnacion helped the Pioneers to a 1-0-1 week in conference play.  He started on the back line for a 2-2 double-overtime draw at Ramapo Sept. 28.  Against Rowan Oct. 1, he was fouled in the box and teammate Anthony Ferrer (Lake Hiawatha, N.J./Parsippany) buried the resulting penalty kick for the Pioneers’ second goal of the day, and Encarnacion’s cross 67 seconds later led to WP’s third goal of a 4-3 overtime victory.
