Jeremiah Stafford of the second-ranked Salisbury University men's lacrosse team earned the long-stick midfield spot on the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) Division III Team of the Week, announced on Wednesday evening.
Stafford, a junior from Darien, Conn., totaled 10 ground balls and two caused turnovers during the week, digging out five ground balls in each of SU's contests against St. Mary's (Md.) and Montclair State while disrupting a pair of Seahawk possessions in last Tuesday evening's affair.
