Senior mid-fielder Ian Hart wins athlete of the week after having a spectacular performance at Western Conn. St. Hart had four goals and two assists in the only game for the men’s lacrosse team this week. After not scoring more than three goals all year, he has now put four balls in net in each of his last two games, not coincidentally both Owl blowouts. On the season, Hart now has 24 goals and 28 assists and is a big reason why the Owls finished the season undefeated in LEC play and 13-2 overall.
