UTAH LACROSSE: NEED TO KNOWS
LAST TIME OUT
Utah ended their third match against the Cavaliers in a 14-9 defeat
Six Utes have marked down at least one hat trick this season, with two players, both underclassmen, achieving it multiple times.
Freshman Cade Faulkner is leading the Utes with his four hat tricks, scoring three goals in back-to-back games at Ohio State and Delaware, then finding it again against Syracuse and at Virginia.
Freshman Luke McNamara and senior Cody Hart were the first of the season to tally three plus goals, hitting this mark at No. 19 Ohio State and pushing the Utes to their first ranked win of the season. McNamara went on to earn his second hat trick at Dartmouth alongside Zachary White, who earned the first in his career. Senior Jonas Hunter found his first as Ute in the match against Delaware, while freshman Chase Robertson hit the mark against Marquette for his career-first hat trick
AT THE TOP
Cade Faulkner and Luke McNamara, both underclassmen, are tied at the top of the Utah scoring roster, each finding 16 points in the goal in the first eight games of the season. With nine goals and 19 assists, Ryan Stines has tallied 28 points throughout the season, nine more than the second-highest on the team.
HELPING HAND
Ryan Stines has accumulates 19 assists in eight games this season, ranking first in the ASUN and ninth in the nation for assists per game, averaging 2.38.
IN THE CAGE
Junior Colin Lenskold has faced 327 shots in the cage so far this season, tallying up 96 saves in eight games, finding a save percentage of 49.5%. Marking an odd statistic, Lenskold faced exactly 39 shots against Utah's first three opponents, and then saw 39 shots again, for the fourth time this season, at Vermont.
ASUN HONORS
Junior Nikko DiPonio and senior Cody Hart were awarded this season's first ASUN weekly honors after a 19-13 Utah win against No. 19 Ohio State. DiPonio was named Defensive Player of the Week after his nine ground balls and one caused turnover held the defensive side for the Utes. On the offensive, Hart earned his title after scoring four goals and a helper to tally up five points.
