King becomes the first conference player in two years to claim Brine/NEC Player and Rookie of the Week honors after scoring four of Fairleigh Dickinson’s nine goals in the team’s 2-1 week. King helped spark an improbable comeback at Manhattan on Monday as the Knights rallied from a 4-1 deficit in the last 15 minutes to defeat the Jaspers in overtime, 5-4. He helped turn the momentum in FDU’s favor with a goal in the 76th minute to make it 4-2. After the Knights scored twice in a 13 second span in the 83rd minute to tie it up, it was King who pushed across the game-winner six minutes into the extra session, taking a feed from Jermaine Hardy and placing the ball in the right corner of the net. Holding a 1-0 lead over Yale on Sunday, King gave the Knights some breathing room in the 77th minute, converting Fernando Huthmacher’s cross, then tacked on an insurance goal off an assist from Sergio Munoz with less than five minutes left on the clock. King, who leads the NEC with five goals and ten points, picked up his second Rookie of the Week award of the season. The last NEC player to claim dual honors was Sacred Heart’s Jesper Fredriksson back on September 18, 2006.
