RICHMOND, Va. (March 11, 2024) – The CAA has announced its men’s lacrosse weekly awards for the week of March 4 through March 10. Stony Brook graduate attackman Nick Dupuis was named CAA Offensive Player of the Week, and Delaware graduate defender Tate Wasson earned CAA Defensive Player of the Week accolades. In addition, Delaware freshman John McCurry collected his second CAA Rookie of the Week honor this spring.
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Nick Dupuis, Stony Brook
Graduate | Attack | Alexandria, Va. / St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes School
Dupuis recorded 12 points on eight assists and four goals, leading the Stony Brook attack in two games last week. On Saturday, the graduate attackman tallied a career-high nine points, dishing out five assists and scoring a season-best four goals despite an overtime setback to Providence. Earlier in the week, Dupuis helped the Seawolves to a neutral site win over Dartmouth, recording three assists. Dupuis has at least three points in every game this season and five or more on five occasions. Additionally, he ranks first in the NCAA with 4.14 assists per game.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Tate Wasson, Delaware
Graduate | Defense | Palmyra, Pa. / Palmyra Central HS
Wasson led the nation’s third-ranked scoring defense to a 16-7 conference-opening win over Monmouth on Saturday. The graduate defender recorded a season-high three caused turnovers with two ground balls in the victory. After building an 8-5 halftime lead, the Blue Hens clamped down in the second half, allowing just two goals over the final 30 minutes, marking the third time they have held an opponent under 10 goals this spring. Wasson has caused at least one turnover in three straight games.
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
John McCurry, Delaware
Freshman | Attack | Wall N.J. / Wall HS
McCurry had his best game to date Saturday, leading Delaware to a conference win over Monmouth with a season and game-high five goals. Eight of his 10 shots were on target in the contest as the freshman notched a first-half hat trick before adding two tallies in the fourth quarter. McCurry added three ground balls in the effort.
