Downs Earns Cardinals First G-MAC Men’s Lacrosse Award

Box Score INDIANAPOLIS – In their first official game as a league member, the Cardinals have an award winner. Dereck Downs' offensive performance earned the Wheeling Jesuit senior the program's first Great Midwest Athletic Conference Men's Lacrosse Offensive Player of the Week honor.
 
Downs led the Cardinals (1-0) to their season-opening victory on Sunday afternoon, 10-6, over visiting Rollins College, with five goals and an assist.
 
The Toronto, Ontario native scored three goals and assisted on a fourth to help WJU go out to a 6-3 first-half advantage. He added a man-down, game-winning goal 4:53 into the third quarter and final score with 1:33 left in the match to complete his day.
 
WJU heads to the Midwest for a three-match road trip starting next Sunday afternoon, Feb. 25, against fellow Jesuit institution Rockhurst. Faceoff is set for 2 p.m. EST.
