Two Maryland men’s lacrosse players earned Big Ten weekly honors, released by the conference Wednesday. Junior attackman Daniel Kelly was named the league’s Offensive Player of the Week and sophomore midfielder Dante Trader Jr. was named Defensive Player of the Week.
The honors are the first of both Kelly and Trader Jr.’s careers.
Kelly had a six-point showing in the team’s win over Syracuse, scoring four goals and tallying two assists, his second straight game with four goals. He has tallied multiple points in all three games this season.
Trader Jr., one of Maryland football’s starting safeties in the fall, not only showcased his abilities as a short-stick defensive midfielder Saturday against the Orange — scooping three ground balls and forcing a turnover — but also established himself as an effective two-way player, scoring his first two collegiate goals. He is the second Terp to earn Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors, joining graduate defenseman Brett Makar.
Maryland, holding a 2-1 record and ranked No. 9 in the most recent Inside Lacrosse Media Poll, plays at No. 3 Princeton on Saturday at 1 p.m., a rematch of last year’s national semifinal.
