RICHMOND, Va. – Delaware men's lacrosse junior attackman JP Ward was named the Colonial Athletic Association's offensive player of the week, the league announced on Monday.
This is the second time this season Ward has received the league's offensive player of the week honor, dating back to Feb. 20. Overall, this is the fourth offensive player of the week, and sixth total weekly honor the Blue Hens have received from the CAA.
Ward tallied a career-high 10 points on two goals and a career-best eight assists, leading the Blue Hens to a season-high 19 goals in a victory over Hampton. The eight assists match the all-time conference single-game record, established in 2002. It is also tied for the highest single-game total in the NCAA this season, while the 10 points match the CAA single-game high and rank second in the nation this spring.
The Blue Hens host Fairfield on Saturday, April 8 at noon. Saturday's game will be senior day, where 10 student athletes will be honored. Saturday is also the men's lacrosse 75th anniversary game.
