Senior midfield captain Will Hirschmann stepped his game up to another level in Friday night's 17-8 victory over the Drexel Dragons en route to earning himself the honor of CAA Player of the Week.
Hirschmann scored a head-turning seven goals and added an assist.
His performance in the regular season finale brought his season totals to 25 goals and 13 assists, which ranks him seventh in the CAA with 38 points. He also notched his 50thcareer goal to put another exclamation point on the night.
