ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. --- Five Elizabethtown College students have been named to the All-Commonwealth Conference teams in men’s soccer for 2006.

He totaled two assists and two points in 18 games played this season, and in his career he has eight assists and eight points in 36 games played.

Fleisher has also earned a spot on the all-conference teams for the first time in his career this season. Over the course of his career, he has earned the Commonwealth Conference’s Goaltender/Defender of the Week award multiple times, and he was also the 2006 Commonwealth Conference playoff tournament Most Valuable Player. This season, he was one of just two Elizabethtown players to start all 19 of the Blue Jays’ games, and he posted a goals against average of 0.66 and a save percentage of .851 in over 1,774 minutes of work.
