UMBC

Athlete of the Week: Scott Jones, Men’s Lacrosse

Scott Jones led all scorers with five points (three goals, two assists) and scored the game-winning goal with 41 seconds left to lead UMBC to its fourth straight win, a 9-8 decision over Vermont. The victory clinched a berth in the four-team America East Championship for the eighth year in a row. The sophomore attackman from Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, has posted back-to-back five-point efforts in crucial conference victories, and he has been credited with the game-winner in all three of UMBC’s America East wins this season. Jones leads the Retrievers with 20 goals and 28 points in 2011, and he ranks eighth in the league with 1.82 goals per game and 10th with 2.55 points per contest.
