Prime Time Soccer

At the end of the soccer season, every player had scored a prime number of goals and the average for the eleven was also a prime number.  No player's tally was the same as anyone else's, and neither was it the same as the average.

Given that nobody had scored more than forty-five goals, how many goals did each player score?

Like yesterday, this puzzle comes out of The World's Biggest Book of Brainteasers & Logic Puzzles.

    I believe the average of 1,2,3,5,7,11,13,29,31,41, and 43 to be closer to 16.909...

    The following seems to work, however:
    5,7,11,13,17,19,29,31,37,41,43 (Sum 253, avg 23)
