AMHERST, Mass. – University of Massachusetts men's lacrosse freshmen Robbie Granara and Owen Salanger have both been selected as the UMass Student-Athletes of the Week following the team's Atlantic 10 opening 11-10 road win over No. 16/15 Saint Joseph's last Saturday. The duo will be honored at Wednesday's UMass Sports Luncheon at the Berkshire Dining Commons.
