Baruch College Athletics

Nelson DiBastiano of the men's soccer team was voted by members of the athletic department as the Baruch Athlete of the Month for September 2007.

Nelson put together a dominant September with 113 total saves and played in every single soccer match during the busy month.

Against nationally-ranked #25 College of New Jersey, he notched eight saves and allowed only two goals in a respectable 2-0 neutral site loss at the Rowan University Harrison House Invitational.

He eventually recorded a career-high 17 saves against UMASS-Dartmouth in the M.C.L.A. Holiday Inn Tournament.

Nelson notched his first shutout of the season, versus Manhattanville, recording 17 saves again in an exciting double-overtime 1-0 victory.
