ETHAN LITTLE OF CENTENARY COLLEGE, a sophomore defender from Tyler, Texas, has been named the SCAC Men’s Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Week for games played from Monday, March 1 through Sunday, March 7.
Little helped lead the Maroon and White to a 7-4 win over Dallas on Sunday at home as the Gents won for the first time since reestablishing as a varsity program before last season. After Dallas scored the games' first two goals, Little and the Gents' defense allowed just two goals (both scored in the final three minutes of the game when the win was safely in hand) over the final 45 minutes. Little had four ground balls and seven cause turnovers and now has 12 GB's and 10 CT's this season.
Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
Sophomore face-off specialist Winston Chodnicki of Colorado College won 16 of 19 faceoffs won 16 of 19 and matched his season-high of six ground balls to help lead Colorado College to a 22-8 win over Adams State University on Saturday. Chodnicki went 9-for-10 at the dot during an 11-0 run that turned a 3-2 deficit with 4:20 remaining in the first quarter into a 13-3 with 4:05 to play before halftime. He also picked up five of his six ground balls during the first half. For the season, Chodnicki leads the Tigers with 14 balls and has won nearly 73 percent of his faceoffs, which ranks in the top 20 nationally. Freshman goalkeeper Michael White of Dallas notched 24 saves and recorded a 77.4 save percentage in goal for the Crusaders' season-opening match on Sunday. White kept UD in the game while facing 31 shots. His 24 saves rank in the top-10 in the program for a single-game high.
