Former Souhegan Soccer Standout Named to Big East Honor Roll

Willis Griffith netted his first goal for Villanova last week.

Freshman back Willis Griffith (Amherst, N.H./Southegan H.S.) was named to the Big East weekly honor roll for his work in a 1-0-1 week for the Wildcats.

Griffith, who has started each of Villanova's three contests thus far at center back, netted his first career goal off a set piece in a 1-1 draw with Hartford last week. He also played a key role in helping the Wildcats post their first shutout of 2013, a 3-0 win over Marist on Saturday at the Villanova Soccer Complex.

Griffith played for the New England Revolution Academy club prior to his arrival at Villanova for the fall semester.
