FAIRFAX, Va. - George Mason freshman forward Ghiles Harmouche was named the CAA Rookie of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Monday afternoon.

Harmouche helped lead the Patriots to two wins over the weekend, notching one goal in each contest. It is the first weekly honor in his collegiate career.

In a 5-1 triumph over Saint Peter's on Friday it took Harmouche just 2:29 to find the net as he used his body to settle a cross from sophomore Brennan Zizi to put the Patriots up, 1-0. On Sunday he scored in the 11th minute, collecting a cross from sophomore Timi Mulgrew and drawing the Terriers keeper off of his line before sending the shot home to help Mason to a 3-2 win.

Harmouche has played in all five games for the Patriots this season, ranking third on the team with seven points (3g, 1a). He is currently the top rookie scorer in the CAA.

Mason is 5-0 on the season, its best undefeated start since 1991. The Patriots have outscored their opponents, 16-4, and have scored first in all but one match.

The team returns to the pitch on Saturday, hosting UMBC at 7:00 p.m. It is the Game of the Week, and the first 400 students with a valid ID will receive a Wingstock t-shirt in addition to free wings for all students in attendance courtesy of Hard Times Cafe. There will also be a wing eating contest at halftime, with the winner receiving four premium Washington Capitals tickets.
