Sophomore Kofi Sarfoh and senior Annabel Dobash of Union College were named Highmark Student-Athletes of the Week. Sarfoh scored a penalty goal and added an assist in Union's 3-0 win over St. Lawrence, while Dobash placed 16th at the Liberty League Championships.

Why it matters

Sarfoh's 10 goals tie him for the most by a conference player this season and are the most by a Union men's player since 2019. Dobash's finish earned her All-Liberty League honorable mention.

Sarfoh's 10 goals tie for the most by a conference player this season, the most by a Union men's player since 2019. Dobash finished 16th of 101 runners at the Liberty League Championships in 23:27.8, and the stub does not give her season-long comparison times.

The players

Kofi Sarfoh

Sophomore forward for the Union College men's soccer team whose 10 goals this season lead the conference.

Annabel Dobash

Senior distance runner on the Union College women's cross country team who earned All-Liberty League honorable mention.

The details

Sarfoh scored from the penalty spot in the 14th minute of Union's 3-0 win over St. Lawrence on Saturday and later assisted on an insurance goal. Dobash moved into 16th place after the first mile and held 15th at each of the next four checkpoints before finishing.

Timeline

  1. Week ending Sunday, November 1: Highmark Student-Athletes of the Week honors period.

  2. Saturday before November 3: Union defeats St. Lawrence 3-0.

  3. Liberty League Championships (date not stated): Dobash finishes 16th of 101 runners.

The Tech Race

Sarfoh's 10-goal season matches the scoring pace of the Union men's program's last 10-goal campaign in 2019, marking the highest single-season output for a Union men's player since that year. The stub offers no broader conference scoring trend to compare against.

Sarfoh's conference-leading 10 goals make him a central figure in conference scoring races and fantasy-style league comparisons. Dobash's 16th-place finish at the Liberty League Championships adds to Union's standing in the conference's cross country results.

The takeaway

Sarfoh's season total and Dobash's conference finish show Union athletes posting measurable results at the top of the Liberty League, a pattern worth tracking as the postseason approaches.
