Sophomore Zach Ruthfield of the Clarkson University Men's Soccer team has been selected as the United Soccer Coaches Division III Midfielder of the Month for October.

Ruthfield, a forward/midfielder, was a force offensively in the second half of the season, which was almost entirely conference contests. He scored at least one point in six straight games, five coming in Liberty League play. His strong run began with two goals against nationally-ranked Hobart College in a 4-0 win. He then had a goal in a tie versus Bard College, an assist in a win over SUNY Potsdam in mid-October. The next three games saw him score once against Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, assist on a goal versus Skidmore College, and then produce three assists in Clarkson's final home game of the season, a 3-0 win over Ithaca College. All told, Ruthfield had four goals and five assists for 13 points in the month of October.

Ruthfield finished the season with 16 points, tying for fifth in the league in assists with six and tying for sixth in the conference in points. More impressively, almost all of his scoring came in league games as he produced 12 points, second in the Liberty League season. He placed second in the conference in shots (29) and tied for second in shots on goal (14) in league games.
