KINGSTON, R.I. - Rhode Island goalie William Synnestvedt was named the Atlantic 10 Men's Soccer Rookie of the Week, the conference announced Monday afternoon.

Synnestvedt made a career-high six saves while earning a shutout in URI's scoreless draw with VCU Saturday night. It was the second career shutout in seven starts for the redshirt freshman from Cohasset, Mass.
