MLAX: WELCH AND MCIVER EARN NORTHEAST-10 WEEKLY HONORS


South Easton, Mass. - Le Moyne College seniors Brian Welch (Ithaca, N.Y./Ithaca) and Doug McIver (Altamont, N.Y./Albany Academy) have earned Northeast-10 Conference men's lacrosse weekly honors, as announced the conference office on Monday afternoon.

Welch, a midfielder, posted three goals and dished out a pair of assists in the Dolphins' 8-4 win over Limestone on Saturday night at Johns Hopkins University's Homewood Field. In two victories to begin the season, Welch has registered three goals and three assists for six points.

McIver, a two-year starting goalkeeper, picked up his second weekly honor of the season after stopping 14 shots and allowing just four goals in the 8-4 victory over #10 Limestone. McIver, named to the Tewaaraton Award watch list, has yielded just four goals per contest to open the season.

Le Moyne (2-0) returns to action on Saturday, March 14th as they travel to Rochester, NY to face #4 Mercyhurst on the campus of St. John Fisher.
