Sutherland drilled a shot from inside the box to give XU a 2-0 lead in the 40th minute ... Was a perfect 1-for-1 in penalty kick attempts, converting on the team's only chance of the season October 14 at UMass ... Scored his second game-winner of the season in dramatic fashion in the Musketeers' 3-2 triumph over Temple on October 26.

Sutherland was part of an XU backline that shutout UMass 2-0 on October 8, running the Musketeers' league record to 3-0.
