NEC MEN’S LACROSSE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
John Herlihy, Hobart

At #9 Cornell on Tuesday, he shared game-high honors with five points, scoring four goals and adding an assist in a 15-12 setback to the Big Red. Playing at the Carrier Dome against No. 14 Syracuse on Sunday, Herlihy added his second four-goal game of the week. His last tally with 36.5 seconds remaining cut Hobart's deficit to one, but the Orange added an empty-net goal with 11.7 seconds left to hold off the upset-minded Statesmen with an 18-16 victory. Through four games, Herlihy leads Hobart with 12 goals and is third on the team with 15 points. He is second in the NEC in goals (3.0) and fifth in points (3.75) per game.
