NEW YORK – Seton Hall's Luca Dahn (Kahl, Germany) was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday afternoon. Hannes Ronnholmen (Stockholm, Sweden) was also named to the conference's weekly honor roll.
Dahn was a key part of Seton Hall's 1-0 shutout victory over No. 10 Oregon State on Friday night. The graduate student played all 90 minutes, marking the 36th time in his 38 career matches that he has played wire-to-wire. The Pirates faced 15 shots from Oregon State, however Dahn and the defense held the Beavers to just four shots on target. Dahn was also called into action to defend numerous set pieces throughout the night, as Oregon State tallied 12 corner kicks but were unable to cash in.
Dahn earns his second BIG EAST weekly honor of the season, as he was named to the honor roll last week.
Ronnholmen was strong in goal for the Pirates, making three saves in the victory on Friday night. In the final moments of the match with the Beavers amping up the pressure, the senior made a big save on a blistering shot from the Oregon State's Nicklas Lund to help preserve the win. Seton Hall has allowed just one goal through the first three matches of the season, the program's best defensive start to a season since 2005.
The Pirates wrap up their west coast trip on Monday night as they visit Portland at 8:30 p.m.
