WHEELING, W.Va. – After leading the Cardinals with three goals in Saturday’s win against Walsh University, Dereck Downs of the men’s lacrosse team is this week’s WJU Male Athlete of the Week.

Downs scored a team-high three goals in WJU’s 12-10 victory Saturday, including the Cardinals insurance goal with 30 seconds on the game clock.

All three of Downs’ goals came in the fourth period, including back-to-back scores at 11:38 and 10:27, to give WJU a 9-7 upper hand, after the Walsh Cavaliers had tied the contest at seven apiece. Downs also collected four groundballs, good for second on the team.

WJU returns to action on Saturday, April 2 when it travels to Vienna, West Virginia to take on Ohio Valley University at 1:00 p.m.
