Lacrosse Magainze Player of the Week
CCC Athletes of the Week
BALTIMORE, Md. – Junior midfielder Harrison Cotter (Lordship, Conn.) was named Lacrosse Magazine Division III Player of the Week as Cotter twice set career-highs in important victories over CCC rival Western New England and NESCAC foe Bowdoin on Senior Day. In both games, Cotter scored seven goals, a new career, and against the Polar Bears added an assist to set a new personal-best with eight points in a single game.
Cotter, who was also named CCC Offensive Player of the Week for the first time this season, totaled 14 goals and 15 points on the week as the Endicott men's lacrosse team went 2-0 with a 20-6 win over Western New England to secure to top spot in the CCC Tournament which starts next weekend and an 18-10 triumph over Bowdoin on Senior Day.
"Harry had a big week against conference rival Western New England and NESCAC foe Bowdoin," said Endicott head coach Sean Quirk. "Harry's week was a true reflection of the work he had been putting in all year. We have a bakery-balanced offense; we don't depend on one or two guys. This happened to be Harry's week that he went off."
Cotter now has a team-high 58 points and 46 goals along with 12 assists this spring. He ranks third in the conference in scoring and fourth in points.
Joining Cotter in the CCC's weekly award release were sophomore goalie Cameron Bell (Falmouth, Maine) and freshman attacker Colin Bannon (Westport, Conn.) who collected Defensive Player and Rookie of the Week, respectively. Bell won his second Defensive Player of the Week award while Bannon is now a four-time CCC Rookie of the Week award winner.
Bell turned in two solid performances this week as he improved to 12-3 between the pipes. Against Western New England, Bell allowed just six goals to one of the league's top scoring offenses while making 16 saves in goal. Against Bowdoin, Bell made 12 saves marking his fourth straight game and his 10th with double-digit saves.
Bannon set a new career-high in his young career with nine points in a single game, eclipsing his previous-best of five set in the season opener, with six goals and three goals against Western New England. His six goals came on nine shot attempts (.667). Bannon followed up that performance with two goals and two assists against Bowdoin, upping his season totals to eight goals and four assists against NESCAC teams.
