GREENSBORO, N.C. - Maryland's Xander Ritz and North Carolina'S Jed Prossner were named Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Lacrosse Co-Players of the Week Monday after leading their teams to impressive victories over nationally-ranked opponents over the weekend.
Prossner, a native of Easton, Md., helped lead North Carolina to a 12-7 win over Massachusetts. The attackman tallied three goals and one assist for four points. The junior had an early assist and then scored three goals early in the fourth quarter to put the game away for the Tar Heels. Prossner has led the Tar Heels in scoring as both a freshman in 2002 and a sophomore in 2003.
Ritz, a sophomore from Radnor, Pa., helped lead Maryland to a 14-5 victory over Georgetown, as he recorded three goals and four assists in his first game as a Terrapin. Ritz opened the Terps' scoring to start a 9-0 run as Maryland built a 9-1 halftime lead. He tallied the Terps' sixth goal, which was the eventual game-winner, in that run. He also assisted four other goals including the final goal of the game. Ritz's seven points were the most by any Maryland player in nearly two years.
