BONNES NAMED PLAYER OF THE WEEK

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Lycoming College senior attack Michael Bonnes (Ridley Park; Ridley Senior) has been named the Middle Atlantic Conference Player of the Week for men’s lacrosse.

Bonnes led the Warriors’ offense through a perfect 3-0 week, recording a total of 19 points on 12 goals and seven assists. In last Monday’s 23-3 win over King’s College, he tallied four goals and four assists. On Wednesday at Keuka College, he scored six goals and assisted on two others leading Lycoming to a 14-9 victory. Bonnes wrapped up the week with a two-goal, one-assist effort in the Warriors’ 15-6 win over FDU-Madison on Saturday.

Bonnes leads the team with 44 goals on the season and is Lycoming’s all-time leader in career goals with 156. Last week, Bonnes had a unique opportunity when his brothers, Ryan and Shaun, started on the attack with him versus King’s. The trio of brothers accounted for 12 goals and seven assists in the game, with all four of Michael’s assists going to one of his brothers.

As a team the Warriors are 9-3 overall and 5-1 within the MAC with two regular season games to play. Lycoming is tied for first place in the conference with Drew University (5-1), Messiah College (4-1) and Widener University (3-1). A win in either of the Warriors’ remaining games would secure a birth in the conference playoffs beginning May 2.
