The Ocean City Nor'easters kicked off the 2016 Premier Devleopment League (PDL) season in style with a 3-0 road win over the Baltimore Bohemians.

A big reason why the Nor'easters were able to earn a shutout in the season opener was the play of defender Daniel Nimmo (Campbellsville-KY / Lithigow, Scotland). He was the anchor of the defense that made life easier for goalkeeper Logan Ketterer (Bradley / Racine, Wis.) who only had to make two saves to earn a clean sheet in his Ocean City debut.

As a result, Nimmo was named to the PDL Team of the Week.

"Nimmo was a driving force for the full 90 in our shutout win over Baltimore," said Nor'easters head coach Tim Oswald. "He is a great vocal leader and someone that prides himself on clean sheets. He is a tremendous asset to our back four. His recognition on the PDL Team of the Week is well deserved."

Nimmo comes to the Nor’easters as a freshman from Campbellsville University in Kentucky. Nimmo originally hails from Lithgow, Scotland and played in all 21 games for Campbellsville this past season. The defender has a touch for an offense in addition to being a stellar defensive presence with four goals and an assist past year for Campbellsville. At 6’4 and 190 lbs, Daniel will have a large presence on the Nor’easters’ backline this season.
