4/5/2004

Freshman attackman Drew Westervelt (Bel Air, Md./John Carroll) has been named America East Conference Men’s Lacrosse Rookie of the Week for the week of March 29-April 3, 2004. It is Westervelt’s second honor, as he captured the award on March 16.

Westervelt scored two goals and added two assists as UMBC (3-3, 2-0 America East) rallied to knock off  defending league champion Albany, 10-9, at UMBC Stadium on Saturday. The 6’4”, 185-lb. newcomer corralled a career high 6 ground balls and picked off an Albany clearing pass with 43 seconds to play to ice the game for the Retrievers.

Westervelt leads UMBC with 17 points on 10 goals and 7 assists. He is also leading the team in shooting percentage at 47.6% (10 goals/21 shots).

The Retrievers face a pair of America East road contests this week, traveling to Binghamton on Wednesday, and facing Quinnipiac on Saturday.
