The South Atlantic Conference Announces AstroTurf SAC Men's Lacrosse Players of the Week, April 4
ROCK HILL, S.C. (TheSAC.com) – Wingate's Alex Llerandi was tabbed the Astroturf South Atlantic Conference Men's Lacrosse Offensive Player of the Week, while teammate Jacob Ormerod was named the Astroturf South Atlantic Conference Men's Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Week for games played March 28-April 3, the League announced today.
Llerandi, a freshman from Marietta, Ga., notched six goals to help the Bulldogs collect a pair of SAC victories last week. Against No. 15 Queens on March 30, the attacker put in three scores as the Bulldogs overcame a five-goal first quarter deficit to defeat the 15th-ranked Royals, 9-8. Llerandi followed that effort with three goals in Wingate's 10-9 overtime triumph over Catawba on April 2. He also collected four ground balls and caused a turnover in the two-game span. The award is his first Offensive Player of the Week nod this season.
Ormerod, a junior from Lake Mary, Fla., recorded 43 saves in Wingate's two South Atlantic Conference wins last week. He got his week started with 22 saves and a 73.3 save percentage in the win over No. 15 Queens. Three days later against Catawba, Ormerod saved 70 percent of the shots he faced as he collected 21 saves in the win over the Catawba Indians. He finished the two-game span with a save percentage of 71.7 percent. The award is his third Defensive Player of the Week selection this season.
