MORAGA, Calif. - Redshirt freshman Kolby Fish Sessions made a splash in his collegiate debut this past Saturday night as he recorded a game high eight saves in a scoreless draw with San Jose State. The Utah native got his name called from head coach Adam Cooper for his first career start against the Spartans and willed the Gaels to a draw as he faced 18 shots on the night and made six second half saves.
The eight saves from Sessions went down as a new game high on the season for Saint Mary's as he recorded one more than teammate Sam Bentley who had seven saves the week prior against Sacramento State. It is also the most saves by a Gaels keeper since teammate Jack Landreth had eight saves last season against Utah Tech.
"Fish showcased the quality he has as a goalkeeper on Saturday", said Gaels goalkeeper coach Remi Prieur. "He made numerous big time saves to keep us in the game and helped us come out with a point on the road".
The 0-0 draw went down as the Gaels second shutout of the season with the other coming in a 2-0 home victory over Cal Poly back in August. This is the first conference weekly award for the Gaels this season.
Also Nominated: Miguel-Ang Hernandez, Portland; Josh Moya, Pacific; Donovan Parisian, San Diego; Nathan Rodrigues, LMU
WCC action will officially kickoff this week as the Gaels will head south to take on 15th ranked San Diego to open up conference play. The game is slated for Friday, September 28th at 7:00 PM and you can watch all the action live on ESPN+.
