Sophomore Midfield 6-0 180 Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Currier defined clutch performance in the Tigers’ overtime win against then-No. 12 Johns Hopkins. He totaled five points on two goals and three assists and was 6-of-8 on face-offs, saving most of his superlatives for the finish. Down by two in the fourth quarter, Currier won a face-off and an acrobatic ground ball that led to his second goal. Princeton then tied Johns Hopkins with just seven seconds to play. Currier won the overtime face-off and then drew a penalty that gained an extra-man opportunity from which Princeton capitalized. The 16-15 decision soared Princeton eight spots to No. 10 in this week’s Inside Lacrosse poll. The Tigers (3-0) visit No. 9 Maryland (3-1) on Saturday. What a game. Zach Currier played the most complete game I've ever seen. Congrats ! — Tom Schreiber (@TomSchreiber26) Defensive Player of the Week Tate Jozokos, North Carolina
Sophomore Midfield 6-0 200 Wolfeboro, N.H. Jozokos played possibly the best game of his career in a 12-10 upset of No. 1 Denver. He tallied a career-high five ground balls and limited the Pioneers’ first-string midfielders to two goals on only four shots. Denver midfielders combined for just eight shots and four goals in the game. Two ground balls from face-offs proved especially important for North Carolina. In those possessions, Jozokos assisted a second-quarter goal that closed a two-goal deficit and then scored his second career goal early in the third quarter to put the Tar Heels in the lead for good. No. 2 North Carolina (5-0) hosts Manhattan (0-5) Saturday and Bryant (1-3) on Tuesday. Congrats to SSDM Tate Jozokos, ACC Defensive Player of the Week — UNC Men's Lacrosse (@uncmenslacrosse)
