CAA Partners With Lax Sports Network For "Game Of The Week" Series
The Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) and the Lacrosse Sports Network (LSN) struck up a partnership to digitally stream 15 contests during the 2017 regular season in a "Game of the Week" series. Massachusetts will participate in two of those contests during home games against Fairfield (4/15) and Drexel (4/28). Those two contests will be available to watch exclusively through LSN's platform.
Smith With The Stop
Senior goalie D.J. Smith made 92 saves over the opening eight games of the season, an average of 11.5 per game. He ranks tied for 19th nationally for saves per game through play on Tues., March 28. His 92 saves already more than double his career total entering the season (50). Smith made at least 10 in seven games this season, including a career high 16 against Brown.
21 With The Tally
Tyler Bogart currently ranks seventh in the CAA in goals per game (2.12) with 17 over the opening eight games played. It is already six more goals than the now-sophomore scored on attack for the Minutemen in 2016.
Making The Fifth Year The Best One
Dan Muller, a redshirt senior midfielder, ranks tied for eighth in the CAA in assists per game (1.00) and tied for ninth in points per game (2.62) as of games on Sun., March 26. After Muller recorded six points in the opening four games, with no more than two points in any single game, he averaged 3.8 per contest over the last four games, with no less than three in any contest. He leads the team in points (21) and assists (eight) and is second in goals (13). The team is 3-1 when Muller has three or more points and 0-4 when he has two of fewer.
Paparo Joins The Back Line
Sophomore Isaac Paparo moved into a starting role on close defense for the game against UMass Lowell and owns 10 caused turnovers along with nine groundballs in his three appearances at the spot.
