February 13, 2017 | Men's Lacrosse
WEST POINT, N.Y. – Senior Reaves Klipstein and sophomore AJ Barretto were both rewarded by the Patriot League for their performances on Saturday at UMass with weekly accolades.
Klipstein was named the league's defensive player of the week, while Barretto was tabbed as the goalie of the week.
Klipstein led a defense that held UMass to just two goals on a total of 19 shots, including only 12 through the first three quarters. He tied his career high with three caused turnovers and picked up five ground balls in the win. The defense held UMass to the fewest goals in the series history, which is 26 games old.
Barretto was also a main factor in shutting down the Minutemen offense with seven saves and only two goals allowed. He held UMass off the board for the first 26:46 of the game and Barretto was big in the clearing game as the Black Knights went 22-of-24 in clears. He also picked up four ground balls in the win. The win was the 10th of his career.
The Black Knights return to the field this Saturday at Rutgers, followed by the home opener on Monday at 12 p.m. against VMI. The game time for Saturday at the Scarlet Knights has been moved back to 2:30 p.m.
