ALFRED, NY – For the fourth time in the 2023 season, Alfred University's Kevin Matson (Chenango Bridge, NY/Chenango Forks) has been named on the Empire 8 Weekly Awards list, earning his second Men's Lacrosse Co-Player of the Week Honors on Monday as made official in an announcement from Association Commissioner, Joe Venniro.
 
Matson totaled 12 points in the two-game week, setting his Alfred University career-high in assists with three in a non-conference win over Oswego State. In that game, he totaled five points by adding two goals (one man-up) and tacked on three ground balls. Matson then, turning back to Empire 8 action, was credited with the game-winning goal as he scored a double hat-trick with six goals and one assist. Seven of his eight shots were on goal in the Saturday game at Medaille.
 
He was joined in the Empire 8 listings by Jessica Remm (Carmel, IN/Carmel) and Megan Bennett (Athens, PA/Athens Area) as the duo swept the Softball Player & Pitcher of the Week selections. Teammate, Scott Kimiecik (Randolph, NJ/Randolph) was named a Saxon of the Week on Monday along with softball's Isabella Carrillo (Van Nuys, CA/Birmingham Community Charter).
 
Matson and the Saxons will next close out their regular season with a home 1:00pm game against Utica University for Senior Day from Yunevich Stadium on Saturday, April 29 and then will turn their sights on the Empire 8 Championship Tournament.
