JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville and Utah earned this week’s Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN) Men’s Lacrosse honors, announced Monday by the league office.
Jacksonville senior attackman, Jack Taylor, has been named the Offensive Player of the Week after his performance in the Dolphins’ win over Bellarmine. Taylor led Jacksonville to the highest-scoring game in program history (27 goals) with a season-high eight points, scoring four goals and adding four assists. He also recorded one ground ball in the victory while firing 12 shots, six of which were on goal. The Westborough, Massachusetts native has now recorded at least three points in every game this season and notched his sixth outing with five or more points.
Utah junior defender Luca Pivetta earned the Defensive Player of the Week honors following his performance in the Utes’ historic 18-0 shutout win over Queens. Pivetta caused three turnovers and collected two ground balls while anchoring a defensive unit that held Queens to just 16 total shots and six on goal. The shutout marked the first in program history and the first across Division I since the 2015 season. Utah’s defense also forced 17 turnovers and limited Queens to 11-of-21 on clear attempts in the victory.
