UTAH LACROSSE: NEED TO KNOWS
LAST TIME OUT
The Utes are currently sitting on a 4-0 ASUN record for the season, after dominating their penultimate regular season match, 17-3 against Queens.
MAD HATTERS
Seven Utes have marked down at least one hat trick this season, with two players, both underclassmen, achieving it multiple times.
Sophomore Cade Faulkner and freshman Luke McNamara are tied for the top, leading the Utes with four hat tricks each.
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. Junior Will Overly is the newest member of the club, tallying three scores against Queens for the first hat trick in his career.
AT THE TOP
Freshman Luke McNamara is at the top of the Utah scoring roster, finding 24 points in the goal, with sophomore Cade Faulkner close behind, marking 21 scores this season. With 16 goals and 29 assists, Ryan Stines has tallied 45 points throughout the season, 20 more than the second-highest on the team.
HELPING HAND
Ryan Stines has accumulated 29 assists in ten games this season, ranking first in the ASUN and sixth in the nation for assists per game, averaging 2.90. In just the past two matches, at Bellarmine and against Mercer, Stines marked down 10 assists.
IN THE CAGE
Junior Colin Lenskold has faced 469 shots in the cage so far this season, tallying up 141 saves in eleven games, finding a save percentage of 51.3%. 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
After a win over Mercer, junior Dallin Tanner was awarded ASUN Defensive Player of the Week. Tanner scored his first goal of the season and caused four turnovers. With the Herriman, Utah native's efforts, the Utes were able to hold the Bears to just ten points.
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.
