Syracuse, N.Y. --- Cal Filtch was awarded Northeast-10 player of the week once again. The redshirt senior received the honor on Oct. 19 for the second time, previously winning it on Sept. 23. Last week, the midfielder used his dominant left foot to register nine points in two games. His four goals and one assist allowed the Dolphins to get to 9-4 overall and 5-4 in conference play. A non-conference matchup with Slippery Rock proved to be quite an easy test for Le Moyne on Oct. 13. Filtch scored a pair of goals and senior midfielder Nick Rauscher also scored off a pass from sophomore midfielder Seth Scarano. The 3-1 Le Moyne victory photo courtesy of lemoynedolphins.com was sophomore goalkeeper Ben Beaury’s 20th career win. ‘Phins soccer got back to NE-10 action on Oct. 17 with a home game against Stonehill. Filtch starred for Le Moyne once again, scoring two goals and adding an assist. Junior defender Ryan Matthews and senior defender Jack Ball, both transfers, each scored a goal to make the final score 4-1. With this home win, Le Moyne still @THEDOLPHINLMC has yet to lose a game this season at Ted Grant Field. The victory gives them their 6th home win in 2015. The Dolphins look to win their 10th game of the season and seventh consecutive home game Oct. 21 at 3 p.m. against Assumption College.

TOM VAZQUEZ ’16 CHEERS CHEERS && JEERS GUY I want to play a game. The Syracuse International Film Festival wrapped up on Oct. 18, and in honor of making it past the halfway point of the semester, I figured we could use a fun little challenge. So here it is: in this week’s Cheers and Jeers, I have strategically inserted a random number of movie quotes, some of them more recognizable than others. The first person to tweet @tommyvazquez0 the exact number of movie quotes I’ve inserted and the films they’re from before next week’s issue will win a $25 Wegmans gift card. I’m serious. And better yet, this will show me who’s film-savvy and who actually reads my column. May the Force be with you.

It’s ironic how much gets pushed to a 1 Jeer: Not Taking Compliments day that might What we’ve got here is failure to communicate. not even happen. I’m awful at taking compliments.

I mean, funny like I'm a clown? I amuse you?” They haven’t talked to me since.

2 Cheers: Finding Something You Lost 2 Jeers: Snow in October One of my friends once told me it's only after we've I've seen things lost everything that we're free to do anything, and believe you people wouldn't me, I’ve lost everything.

But I woke up a few days ago and it was one of those days when photo courtesy of fanpop.com photo it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air; you can almost hear it. I got down on my knees and begged for a sunny day, only to find myself scraping snow off my windshield. Too soon, Mother Nature. 3 Cheers: Friends I found out what the secret to life is — friends. Best friends. I would not have made it through the first half of this semester without these beautiful people. You know, the ones that make failing a test and lying to your family OK. Even more so, I found a whole group of friends who 3 Jeers: Fantasy Football have the same dream, and that makes us sort of What’s the most you ever lost on a coin toss? The like a family.

I backed out of the league. But just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in and make me put effort into a fantasy game that takes the joy out of watching the NFL.
