Performance of the month is earned, not given. Each month, The GNA Insider will feature an athlete from our school who has an outstanding performance that stands out from the rest. Adam Eckhart earned it by scoring 7 goals in a single game against GAR. It was truly an outstanding performance.

How did it feel scoring your seventh goal VS. GAR?

At the time, I wasn’t aware of how many goals I had until I came off the field and my coach told me. I knew it was a high number, but not 7. It felt great to be able to contribute that much to the game and help my team win.

This goes back to a previous question that it feels great to be the leading scorer on the team. Though, without the help of my teammates, I would not have anywhere near as many points as I do now.
