Junior goaltender John Farley (West Simsbury, Conn.) has been named Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Goaltender of the Week, for the week ending April 15, 2001.

Farley wins the award for the second time this year with his stellar performance in a 9-5 victory over conference foe Marist. In the win, he faced 32 shots, made 18 saves and allowed just five goals. The win also kept the Friars alive for a spot in the MAAC playoffs. The junior netminder is second in the conference with a .606 save percentage and a 9.13 goals against average.

Farley is a native of West Simsbury, Conn., where he attended Westminster. He is the son of Richard and Kathleen Farley.

Providence is currently 6-6 overall and 4-3 in MAAC action. The team has three games remaining on the regular-season schedule, two of which are MAAC games (vs. Sacred Heart and Siena). A sweep of the remaining two conference games will clinch a MAAC play-off berth for the Friars, sending them to Poughkeepsie, N.Y. on May 5-6.

Providence is unbeaten at home this season with a perfect 5-0 record. The only other team to do so, was the 1985 Friars who also went 5-0, and were coached by Steve O'Donnell. The 2001 team has the opportunity to rewrite the history books on Tuesday, May 1 as they take on Siena in the only remaining home game of the season. A win would give the Friars an unprecedented 6-0 home record.
