ALFRED, NY – Sophomore Justin Mosher (Hilton, NY/Hilton) was named the Empire 8 Men's Lacrosse Player of the Week on Monday in an official announcement by Associate Commissioner, Joe Venniro.
 
It was his second time on the weekly list of 2021 as he earned Co-Player of the Week on March 15.
 
Mosher had a strong week as he helped the Saxons in a close game with #11 nationally-ranked St. John Fisher College, making AU only the third team to score double-digits in a loss to Fisher and the closest loss out of those three, falling 13-18, and a win over Keuka College on Saturday. He was two points away from tying the Alfred University school record in single game points with 12 on Saturday, scoring two hat-tricks and adding another six assists, crushing his collegiate career-high in assists and points. All 11 of his shots on Saturday were on goal while he picked up a season-high four ground balls. He added another three ground balls and one assist against Fisher.
 
Mosher and the Saxons will next head to #2 seeded Nazareth College for the Empire 8 Men's Lacrosse Championship Tournament on Thursday, May 6 at 4:00pm. He was joined by Holly Passetti (Nichols, NY/Tioga Central) as the Women's Track Athlete of the Week and Allison O'Toole (Simi Valley, CA/Simi Valley) as the Softball Player of the Week on Monday.
