Senior midfielder Nicolas Philippi of the Stevens Institute of Technology men's lacrosse team earned Empire 8 Conference Player of the Week recognition for his role in two games for Stevens last week. The Ducks, ranked No. 4 in the USILA poll last week, played No. 1 SUNY Cortland and No. 11 Tufts University during Spring Break.
Stevens dropped both contests by 12-11 in overtime and 18-14 scores, but Philippi tallied eight goals and one assist. In the overtime loss to Cortland, Philippi posted two goals and his lone assist. He kept the Ducks in most of the 18-14 loss to Tufts with six goals on 16 shots on cage. Philippi took 27 shots over the week and put 21 on goal for a .778 percentage.
Through seven games this season, Philippi leads the Ducks with 34 points and 24 goals. His 10 assists rank him third on the squad, while his four man-up tallies are second.
